Abstract |
This article describes a computer system for the definition of tasks (SAT). This system is the first part of a method for occupational risk prevention. Using SAT, workers select themselves the tasks they execute, starting from task menus displayed on a microcomputer. For each selected task, the worker indicates the associated type of risk, the estimated intensity of exposure, and its estimated duration and frequency. Whenever possible, the worker's actual wording is retained. The use of this software package is made possible at I.N.S.E.R.M. because of the existence of a database of activities of engineers, technicians and administrative personnel. A large corpus of tasks (1,256 entries to date) has been built from this database. These tasks are executed by 5000 workers employed by I.N.S.E.R.M. The use of this software package by other public or private companies is discussed. A method is described for constructing such task corpuses. |
