[Comment expliquer la persistance des accidents du travail et maladies professionnelles à un niveau élevé ? Arnaud Mias est professeur de sociologie à l’université Paris Dauphine-PSL et membre de l’Institut de recherche interdisciplinaire en sciences sociales (Irisso, UMR CNRS-Inrae). Il coordonne avec Laure de Verdalle le comité de rédaction de la revue Sociologie du travail. Ses recherches portent sur les politiques du travail, les relations collectives de travail, les trajectoires professionnelles et les conditions de travail. Il a récemment dirigé avec Claire Edey Gamassou l’ouvrage numérique Dé-libérer le travail. Démocratie et temporalités au cœur des enjeux de santé au travail (Teseo, 2021).]
The movement to protest the pension reform at the start of 2023 reminded us of the impossible dissociation of social protection and employment issues from work issues and working conditions. He brought out what some call a “work crisis” in France (see the contribution of Maeëlezig Bigi and Dominique Méda).
At the same time, the Labor Conference, whose “Guarantors’ Report” was submitted in April 2023, underlines the necessary evolution of managerial practices to deal with increased health risks at work, in a context of ecological and digital transitions.
These considerations invite us to question the relationship between health and work in contemporary France, and to ask in particular whether it is acceptable for work to make people sick or wear out prematurely, even though it can constitute a primordial resource for health, if we consider that health has to do with “pride in being able to take on concrete tasks useful to all” (Yves Clot et al., 2021, page 7). The question is not only that of the effectiveness of occupational risk prevention deployed as close as possible to work situations. We must ask ourselves whether the conditions in which each person’s work is carried out make it possible to make it a factor in the development of their health.
Firstly, the questioning must focus on work organizations and their capacity to provide the conditions for sustainable work for all. We then provide a critical inventory of occupational health in France, questioning the way in which workplace ills are counted. Finally, we return to the practices and actors of occupational health prevention to highlight their weaknesses.
