Une approche critique du modèle dominant de prévention du risque chimique

Abstract

After a brief review of what is at stake in the field of chemical risk, we shall present the founding elements as well as the historic evolution of the ergo-toxicological approach. This multidisciplinary approach aims to devise and assess new perspectives on the prevention of chemical risks. We shall describe the leading model in terms of prevention of chemical risk in work, which we call the “screens model”. We shall then propose a critical review of each of the screens. We shall then define ergo-toxicology and consider its future development.
