# Module C5: L'analyse des risques professionnels ## Situation: Histoire de Slimane Slimane, 17 years old, is completing his final internship (PFMP) as a nursing assistant. At the beginning of his internship, he receives training to identify the major occupational risks in the sector. His instructors explain that it is important to identify all the elements that could potentially cause harm in order to either avoid or limit it. Slimane realizes that a thorough analysis helps to understand occupational risks and put in place effective preventive measures and protection procedures to address them. ## Activité 1: Les composantes d'une activité de travail **Objectif**: Identify the components of a work activity in a professional sector using the provided analysis tool. **Read DOC.A and answer the questions.** ### DOC.A: Analysis Tools To analyze a work activity, many different analysis tools exist that highlight the same elements. Whether it be the 5M method (Material, Matter, Method, Environment, Workforce), the QQOQCP approach (Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?), or even the ITAMaMi method (Individual, Tasks, Activity, Material, Environment), a work activity is always analyzed by highlighting the same elements that make up the activity. Here is a graphic representation of 2 of these tools: ### The 5M Method: * **Workforce** * **Environment** * **Matter** * **Means** * **Method** * **Effect** Each branch of the diagram allows for the listing of different causes that resulted in the effect observed. ### The ITAMaMi Method: * **I: Individual** - Information on the operator * **T: Tasks** - The work requested by the employer * **A: Activity** - Physical and mental activities carried out by the individual * **Mi: Environment** - Characteristics of the environment where the individual carries out their task * **Ma: Material** - The materials used by the individual to carry out their task (tools, machines, etc.) **1. Highlight, in DOC.A, the methods that can be used to analyze a work activity.** **2. Specify the common point between these different methods.** ### Analyse de la situation **1. Identify the different elements of the situation by filling out the table.** | Who? | What? | How? | Why? | |---|---|---|---| | Who is concerned by this training? | What is the problem addressed during the training? | How can the problem be avoided? | Why is it necessary to identify the occupational risks in one's sector? | **3. Using the ITAMaMi tool, identify the components of the work activity in the following situation.** Slimane, 17 years old, a nursing assistant, is on internship in a healthcare facility. His duties involve providing preventive care, maintenance, and education to ensure the well-being of patients and help them achieve their independence. He assists patients with their daily activities. As a result, he must lift, support, and move them (handling) when making beds, during meals, for hygiene, etc. He has access to a patient lift but does not use it because he finds it inappropriate to the organization of the relatively narrow rooms. He therefore carries out patient handling unaided, without the help of his colleague, with whom he has difficulty getting along. To make patient handling easier, he uses the adjustable height function of the beds. His hours are fixed (35 hours per week) but he works on certain holidays. ### The ITAMaMi Method: | I: Individual | T: Tasks | A: Activity | Mi: Environment | Ma: Material | |---|---|---|---|---| | Slimane | Providing care, maintenance, and education for patients | Lifting, supporting, and moving patients | Relatively narrow rooms | Patient lift | ## Activité 2: The elements of the emergence of harm **Objective**: Identify the elements of the emergence of harm in a work activity. **Read DOC.B and answer the questions.** ### DOC.B: Identification of the elements of the emergence of harm Once the components of a work activity have been identified using an analysis tool (ITAMaMi, for example), it is easier to identify the elements of the emergence of harm (elements of a work situation leading to harm). Identifying the dangers related to the work activity allows you to highlight dangerous situations and triggering events that could potentially cause harm to the operator. * **Danger:** A factor capable of causing injury or harm to health. * **Dangerous situation:** A situation where a person is exposed to one or more dangers. * **Triggering event:** An event (also called a dangerous event) that tips the dangerous situation into an accident (which could potentially lead to harm). When the triggering event is sudden, the harm is translated as a work accident, while exposure over time leads to an occupational illness. * **Harm:** Injury or harm to health (this is the consequence of the accident). There are three types of harm: immediate harm (work accident), deferred harm (occupational illness), and potential harm (harm that could potentially occur). The person involved in the work situation is generally referred to as the "operator." **1. Indicate the interest of identifying the elements of the emergence of harm.** **2. Explain the difference between a work accident and an occupational illness in terms of the elements of the emergence of harm.** **3. State the difference between danger and harm.** **4. Fill out the following table by checking the appropriate box for each situation or element.** | Situation | Danger | Dangerous Situation | Triggering event | Harm | |---|---|---|---|---| | The operator uses chemical products | | | | | | Working at height | | | | | | A dislocated shoulder | | | | | | The operator is in a rush to prepare an urgent order | | | | | | A sharp tool | | | | | | The operator works at temperatures above 32°C | | | | | | Significant lower back pain | | | | | | Loss of balance | | | | | **5. Identify, in the following cases, the danger, the dangerous situation, the triggering event, and the harm.** **Case 1:** Slimane has to lift and move a very heavy patient. His colleague, with whom he doesn't get along, refuses to help him. After carrying out the handling, Slimane has lower back pain. * **Danger:** * **Dangerous situation:** * **Triggering event:** * **Harm:** **Case 2:** In a hurry, Paulo does not wear any protection to remove a hot dish from the oven. As soon as he touches it, he drops it. He is severely burned on the hand. * **Danger:** * **Dangerous situation:** * **Triggering event:** * **Harm:** ## Activité 3: Schematic representation of the emergence of harm process **Objective**: Propose a representation that links the elements of the emergence of harm process for an identified risk. **Read DOC.C and answer the questions.** ### DOC.C: Linking the elements of the emergence of harm process It is possible to link the elements of the emergence of harm process in different formats (written text or diagrams) to understand the accident and put in place preventive and protective measures. Generally, a schematic representation is used. Here is a possible example of what we call the "emergence of harm process" (PHP). * **Danger** * **Dangerous Situation** * **Operator** * **Triggering event** * **Potential Damage** **1. Highlight the purpose of linking the elements of the emergence of harm process.** **2. Specify the two methods that allow for the linking of these elements.** **3. Name the 5 terms that must appear in the linking of the elements of the emergence of harm process.** **4. Complete the diagrams of the emergence of harm process for the following cases by imagining the potential harms in each case.** **Case 1:** Alicia, a colleague of Slimane, has been working in a retirement home for 10 years and helps residents get up. She handles and lifts these elderly people, who generally weigh more than 60kg. * **Danger** * **Dangerous Situation** * **Operator** * **Triggering event** * **Potential Damage** **Case 2:** Thomas uses a new solvent to clean his machine. His hands come into contact with this product several times a day. * **Danger** * **Dangerous Situation** * **Operator** * **Triggering event** * **Potential Damage** **5. On a separate sheet (in written form or as a diagram of your choice), link the elements of the emergence of harm process in the following case using the terms: Operator - Danger - Dangerous situation - Triggering event - Potential Damage** **Case:** The machine Alix works with is noisy. During a workday, Alix is exposed to a sound intensity that exceeds 93dB. She suffers from hearing loss.
