Abstract
The aging of the population and the reorganization of health care are resulting in a major expansion of the home care sector. It is in this context that the authors analyzed the occupational health and safety conditions of family and social auxiliaries (FSA) and nurses. Somewhat older and dealing with diverse and not extensively documented risk factors, home care personnel have developed protective strategies that are supported by organizational factors. This report summarizes the role of work organization as support in the conception and development of protective strategies by experienced workers and novices, mainly in high-risk work situations.
A CD containing five appendices accompanies the report. The first four appendices are devoted to each of the CLSCs that participated in the study. The fifth presents the follow-up of the implementation of schedule management software in one of the CLSCs.
