Abstract
The paper present the ergonomic principles spread in the French speaking countries by the «activity ergonomics» based on the Ergonomic Work Analysis which develops a “bottom up” problem building approach.
The different places where the traces of the ergonomics principles implementation in France are identified: legislations, collective agreements… In the French Labour Code are located the regulations, passed from the 70’s to the 90’s, issued mainly from the European directives transposition, which provides for to adapt the work to human. Such requirements constitute what the jurisprudence has defined as a so called “result obligation” in the field of OHS.
These principles are only partly implemented in the real world. And with the recent transformations in the work, such as the development of an economy based on services, marked by digitalization, artificial intelligence, robotization, uberization, one states that the work situations produce new risks, In front of new stakes, the issue of the principles updating is posed and the answers given recently in the laws are questioned.
