Objectives: to determine the mechanisms, lesions and hospital management of work-related accidentduringtraditional fishing,an activity subject to vital occupational risks. Materials and methods: Descriptive retrospective study on occupational injury files in artisanal fishing professions, registered at the Saint-Louis Regional Hospital (Senegal), from January 2014 to December 2019. All complete records of trauma during any activity related to artisanal fishingwereincluded. Data on accident mechanisms, injuries observed, and hospital management were collected. Results: 47 male workers were on average 28.4 years old. Direct shock from a pirogue was most frequent (68.10%), followed by sharp or blunt objects (16.27%). The lesions were characterized by bone fractures in 63.83% of cases (n=30); chest-abdominal-pelvic and limb contusions and wounds represented 12.67% and 21.27% of cases, respectively. Medical management was done in 21 cases (44.7%). Surgery was dominated by intramedullary nailing in 15 cases (31.9%). Two laparotomies were performed with intestinal sutures. A chest contusion death was reported. Conclusion: Traumatic occupational risks in traditional fishing are life threatening. A better understanding of these risks and their consequencesmakes it possible to ensure good prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper seeks to highlight the institutional dimension of the analysis that was developed within the research project "Return to Work after an Accident: Overcoming Obstacles", promoted by the Associação Nacional de Deficientes Sinistrados no Trabalho (ANDST). Combining the cross-reading of legal and administrative documents, legal doctrine, data from a survey by questionnaire, and the testimonies collected through interviews and compiled on journey maps, this paper tries to analytically reconstruct the main moments that constitute a post-sinister path. Thereto it describes the contacts in the institutional approach to reparation, and articulates it with the representations of the victims about their personal cases and the obstacles they have faced.

Introduction : L'inexpérience, une formation inadéquate et une exposition accrue au danger sont susceptibles de contribuer à un risque plus élevé d'accidents chez les jeunes travailleurs. Cette étude décrit les caractéristiques des accidents de travail impliquant de jeunes Canadiens afin d'identifier les secteurs pour lesquels élaborer des stratégies de prévention en matière d'accidents de travail. Méthodologie : Nous avons analysé le dossier des jeunes de 10 à 17 ans qui se sont présentés à un service des urgences (SU) faisant partie du Système canadien hospitalier d'information et de recherche en prévention des traumatismes (SCHIRPT) entre 1991 et 2012. Nous avons classé les accidents de travail en fonction de groupes d'emploi correspondant à la Classification nationale des professions (codes statistiques 2006) et nous avons effectué des analyses descriptives afin d'établir le profil des accidents en fonction de ces groupes d'emploi. Nous avons calculé des rapports proportionnels de blessures (RPB) en fonction de l'âge et du sexe ainsi que des intervalles de confiance à 95 % pour comparer la nature des blessures survenues en contexte professionnel et en contexte non professionnel, à la fois dans l'ensemble et par groupe d'emploi. Résultats : Parmi les 6 046 blessures ayant eu lieu au travail (0,72 % des cas dans ce groupe d'âge), 63,9 % touchaient des garçons. Les jeunes (54,6 % de garçons) œuvrant dans l'industrie des aliments et des boissons ont formé 35,4 % des consultations aux SU en lien avec le travail et 10,2 % des admissions liées au travail, alors que les travailleurs du secteur primaire (76,4 % de garçons) représentaient 4,8 % des consultations aux SU liées au travail et 24,6 % des admissions liées au travail. Les RPB ont été significativement élevés pour les brûlures (9,77, IC à 95 % : 8,94 à 10,67), les blessures par écrasement et les amputations (6,72, IC à 95 % : 5,79 à 7,80), les blessures causées par l'électricité (6,04, IC à 95 % : 3,64 à 10,00), les morsures (5,09, IC à 95 % : 4,47 à 5,79), les plaies ouvertes (2,68, IC à 95 % : 2,59 à 2,78) et les lésions oculaires (2,50, IC à 95 % : 2,20 à 2,83) dans un contexte professionnel par rapport aux cas en contexte non professionnel. Ceci s'explique en bonne partie par l'incidence proportionnelle élevée de certains types de blessures spécifiques à des groupes d'emploi. Conclusion : Nos conclusions fournissent des renseignements relatifs à certains groupes professionnels sur des types de blessures courantes susceptibles de favoriser l'adoption d'approches ciblées à l'égard de la réduction de l'incidence des blessures chez les jeunes en milieu de travail.

A small number of researches on motorcycle couriers investigated the conditions and types of work organization and their effects on the workers. Little is known about the employees' characteristics in this profession. Therefore, it was aimed to analyze the entrance, permanence and abandonment of the work in this profession and its subjective and collective effects. It is a quantiqualitative study, involving 189 workers, and accomplished using instruments and research techniques orientated by Ergology, and mobilizing approaches from the Activity-centered Ergonomics, Psychodynamics of work and Activity Clinic. The results reveal aspects that contribute to the entrance, abandonment or permanence in this profession: characteristics of work, workers' living conditions, personal and social relations network and possibility of self-construction through work. It was concluded that the professional trajectories diversity in this occupation hinders the consolidation of professional collective, requiring from public organizations policies on formation, health promotion and quality of life.
