Abstract

This first article examines the foundations, questions and context of the themes discussed in this issue of Safety Science. A short history of the evolution of the place held by ergonomics work analysis in training is presented and some key concepts are explained. Training is considered by ergonomics to be a means of action, action that applies not only to operators but also to actors who play a role in defending, promoting or making decisions about the definition and transformation of work situations. The relationship between this type of training and occupational training is examined. This is followed by a discussion about interdisciplinary cooperation, which it would seem appropriate to strengthen or even initiate with respect to the various questions currently being debated.
