"Este ensaio aborda as contribuições de Ivar Oddone e do Modelo Operário Italiano (MOI) de luta pela saúde para o desenvolvimento do campo da Saúde do Trabalhador, particularmente no Brasil. Primeiramente, faz-se um balanço das formas de incorporação do legado do MOI nos estudos e nas práticas de Saúde do Trabalhador. A seguir, apresenta-se a experiência de construção de cartografias de riscos industriais desenvolvida em região do sudeste da França. A terceira parte trata da concepção de "comunidade científica ampliada" e suas derivações. Ao final, discute-se a técnica de "instrução ao sósia" como um instrumento eficaz para a reapropriação, pelos trabalhadores, de suas estratégias de ação no trabalho, assim como para desenvolvê-las. Destaca-se que não se trata de incorporar esse patrimônio tal e qual foi utilizado na Itália, mas de explorar seus princípios e experimentações, considerando seu potencial de produção de ações coletivas e de fortalecimento de mobilizações já existentes. Sinaliza-se a atualidade do MOI, pois, apesar das tradicionais formas de luta dos trabalhadores estarem menos visíveis, a capacidade de recriação dos trabalhadores é um potencial em que se deve apostar."

"This article presents a health intervention-research project done with workers in Brazilian public schools. Health, as we understand it, is linked both to the way in which we live and to our capacity to change that way of life. We emphasize the critical importance of initiating dialogue between research professionals and workers (co-investigators) in order to understand and transform work situations. We highlight the effects of debates about gender relations that led to work transformations. Such debates made it easier for workers and researchers to understand that men and women experience job requirements differently. We found that some staff favored reproduction of a sexually differentiated school system. These debates also allowed male and female workers to make their family members aware of difficulties in their work, unknown to society in general. We considered how to expand this research process, including examples of how the work was transformed."

"This article analyzes the relationship between the intensive use of outsourcing and labor organizations on offshore oil platforms in the Campos Basin, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The theoretical and methodological framework applied in our research is based on Ergonomics of Activity and the Psychodynamics of Work, from an ergological perspective. In addition to the more general trend of increasing precariousness, we highlight the potential loss of formal and informal knowledge resulting from the fragmentation of work collectives, as we consider the cohesion of these collectives to be a crucial element contributing to reliability in process operations. Increasing precariousness of work contributes to this fragmentation and one of its main causes is the uncontrolled increase in outsourcing of work. This situation has had nefarious consequences for workers' health and safety, suggesting that those who have adopted outsourcing as a labor management tool have failed to consider these harmful consequences as rigorously as necessary.
