Sécurité, complexité, imprévisibilité : apports et perspectives des travaux de Leplat 

The theme of safety holds a special place in Jacques Leplat's work, as it spans his entire career (Leplat, 1985, 2011; Leplat & Cuny, 1974). From the 1980s onward, it became closely linked to the concept of complexity, which has become essential for describing the world around us (Leplat &a...

description The theme of safety holds a special place in Jacques Leplat's work, as it spans his entire career (Leplat, 1985, 2011; Leplat & Cuny, 1974). From the 1980s onward, it became closely linked to the concept of complexity, which has become essential for describing the world around us (Leplat & De Terssac, 1990; Morin, 2008; Woods, 1988). Leplat's work on complexity stems directly from his guiding model for activity analysis, based on coupling (Leplat, 1997, 2000b). This model emphasizes how individuals handle complex tasks by integrating their specific characteristics (Leplat, 1988). It has opened significant research pathways and new prevention perspectives focused on competencies (Leplat, 2000a, 2008; Leplat & de Montmollin, 2001). While new schools of thought and models have emerged (particularly around resilience engineering (Hollnagel, Woods, & Leveson, 2006)), this article revisits the unique contributions of Jacques Leplat’s work within the evolving and sometimes fragmented landscape of safety sciences. It is a programmatic and theoretical article that lays the groundwork for future research.
