Maintenance: organizational modes, activities and health and safety. Use of a French national survey and in-situ analyses

Outsourcing maintenance interventions thus raises the question of risks associated with the interdependence of actual work activities undertaken by the different types of staff, since they contribute to the same maintenance intervention. This study therefore pinpoints the need to integrate inter-organizational interactions in order to understand the variability of maintenance activities and its relationships with reliability and safety. In this respect, some suggestions are provided with a prevention aim.
