Confident in its considerable capacity for technical innovation in the elds of aeronautics, aerospace and defense, the Safran group is preparing its future and developing ever more effective products and services. This is how it?is meeting the expectations of its customers and other stakeholders by aiming for industrial excellence while constantly improving working conditions, in line with its commitment to sustainable development.
The Safran group has therefore drawn up and implemented an ambitious «Ergonomics program» which aims to :
- strengthen its occupational health and safety risk-prevention culture for the bene t of its staff, ?
- optimize its investments by including ergonomics at the project planning stage for the bene t of its customers and its economic performance.
Whether installing a new item of equipment or?a new production line, modernizing a workshop or building a new factory, every industrial investment project commits the future of a company and its employees: to get it right rst time, ergonomics must be included at the design phase.
This is why we have devised this practical guide which completes our campaign to improve ergonomics at all our sites.
We would like to see it used very widely, both within the group and beyond, to strengthen this culture of industrial excellence in the service of the men and women whose work is the bedrock of our success.
This practical and internationally oriented book is aimed at all the company's stakeholders (managers, designers, methods, prevention workers, occupational physicians, social partners, as well as, production, maintenance and logistics operators) who participate in the implementation of industrial investments in their company. It will also interest teachers and students in ergonomics as well as consultants and institutional ergonomists.
Jean-François Thibault joined the Safran Group in 2012 in the Sustainable Development Department with the mission of building and deploying an Ergonomics program in all the Group's sites (approximately 70,000 employees spread over 140 sites on 5 continents). In conjunction with the Group's Industrial Division, he also participates in the Usine du Futur project and manages a project of cobotic systems development project within the Safran group.
Prior to joining Safran, Jean-François Thibault was successively Director of the Regional Agency for the Improvement of Working Conditions in Aquitaine, consultant to numerous multinationals and also Associate Professor of Ergonomics at the University of Bordeaux. As such, he has about fifty scientific publications to his credit.
