Profound changes caused by technological advances, globalization and deregulation have occurred in the workplace, resulting in the rise of new forms of work organization. In this context, workers often need to be autonomous and polyvalent and information must be shared among many stakeholders, who must all coordinate their activities. The number of information asymmetries significantly increases in such situations. In this new working environment, health and safety management issues are often neglected, putting workers at greater risk. It is therefore relevant to examine how information regarding health and safety should be shared among principals and agents when it is available but cannot be communicated through traditional channels (employers, health and safety committees, prevention representatives) and legislative bodies have not yet ruled. In addition, it is crucial to address how responsibility for health and safety should be shared among the parties in such organizations. Finally, since the global economic crisis, some organizations limit health and safety prevention to regulatory compliance. It is critical to fully engage stakeholders in a more active prevention without having counterproductive impact on their organization. The proposed research program will examine and develop a systemic and systematic approach to the design of new strategies through which activities could be modified in order to improve health and safety while maintaining or improving efficiency or productivity. We shall focus on the information systems that are shared by principals and agents and on the development of technological tools to assist such persons in the co-construction of their action plans. The originality of this research program resides in the integration of health and safety considerations into new and increasingly prevalent forms of work organization and the introduction of prevention schemes that are adapted to these forms and could therefore have a positive impact on the management of operations. The proposal is innovative in that it promises to improve service operations, information technology and decision-making processes within new organizational systems.

技术进步，全球化和放松管制引起的深刻变化发生在工作场所中，从而导致新的工作形式组织的兴起。在这种情况下，工人通常需要是自主和多价的，并且必须在许多利益相关者中共享信息，他们都必须协调其活动。在这种情况下，信息不对称的数量显着增加。 在这个新的工作环境中，健康与安全管理问题通常被忽略，使工人面临更大的风险。因此，在可用的情况下，研究如何在校长和代理商之间共享有关健康和安全的信息是重要的，但不能通过传统渠道（雇主，健康和安全委员会，预防代表）和立法机构进行传达。此外，要解决该组织中双方之间应如何分担健康和安全的责任至关重要。最后，自全球经济危机以来，一些组织将健康和安全预防限制为监管依从性。充分吸引利益相关者在没有适得其反的情况下对组织产生适得其反的影响至关重要。拟议的研究计划将检查并开发一种系统性和系统的方法来设计新策略，通过该方法可以修改活动，以改善健康和安全性，同时维持或提高效率或生产率。我们将重点关注由校长和代理商共享的信息系统，以及开发技术工具，以协助这些人共同建设其行动计划。该研究计划的独创性在于将健康和安全考虑因素整合到新的且日益普遍的工作形式组织中，并引入了适应这些形式的预防计划，因此可能对运营管理产生积极影响。该提案具有创新性，因为它有望改善新组织系统内的服务运营，信息技术和决策过程。
