Diagnostic de securite d'une entreprise bresilienne a partir de l'analyse des accidents du travail par la methode de l'arbre des causes

We present here the results of a study of 21 work-related accidents that occurred in a Brazilian manufacturing company. The aim was to assess the safety level of the company to improve its work accident prevention policy. In the last 6 months of 1992 and 1993, all accidents resulting in 15 days' absence from work, reported for social security purposes, were analyzed using the INRS causal tree method (ADC) and a questionnaire completed on site. Potential risk factors for accidents were identified based on the specific factors highlighted by the ADC. More universal trees were also compiled for the safety assessment. Three hundred and thirty specific accident factors were recorded (man of 15.71 per accident). This is consistent with there being multiple causes of accidents rather than the assertion of Brazilian business safety departments that accidents are due to 'dangerous' or 'unsafe' behavior. Introducing the idea of culpability into accidents prevents the implementation of an appropriate information feedback process, essential for effective prevention. However, the large number of accidents related to 'material' (78%) and 'environment' (70%) indicates that working conditions are poor. This shows that the technical risks, mostly due to unsafe machinery and equipment are not being dealt with. Seventy-five potential accident factors were identified. Of these, 35% were 'organizational', a high proportion for the company studied. Improvisation occurs at all levels, particularly at the organizational level. This is, thus a major determinant for entire series of, if not most, accident situations. The poor condition of equipment also plays a major role in accidents. The effects of poor equipment on safety exacerbate the organizational shortcomings. The company's safety intervention policy should improve the management of human resources (rules designating particular workers for particular workstations; instructions for the safe operation of machines and equipment; training of operators, etc.) and introduce programs to detect risks and to improve the safety of machines and equipment. We also recommend the establishment of a program to follow the results of any preventive measures adopted.

Programa UNESP de Educação de Jovens e Adultos – PEJA/Marília: articulação entre teoria e prática na formação do educador e a perspectiva de integração social e comunitária

O presente artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar uma das possibilidades de formação dos profissionais de EJA (Educação de Jovens e Adultos), qual seja, a formação contínua que se fundamenta no acompanhamento da trajetória de trabalho do educador com seus alunos, tendo como suporte sua inserção em projetos de pesquisa, e na perspectiva de um processo coletivo que envolve ação-reflexão-ação. Objetiva, também, pôr em discussão as bases sobre as quais podem ser construídas as aprendizagens na área de matemática e suas implicações para a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita. Partindo de um diagnóstico da realidade, procede à análise documental para situar a EJA no contexto da atual realidade brasileira, discute a ação didático-pedagógica desenvolvida sob a perspectiva da problematização da prática pedagógica e conclui pela necessidade de formação de um professor epistemologicamente curioso.
