Abstract

Since 2017, IRSN has been developing a new proactive risk analysis method. The Work Complexity Sharing and Exploration Spaces (EPECT in French) were tested for the first time in 2020 in the radiotherapy department of the Gustave Roussy Institute. The EPECT method makes it possible to anchor the analysis of risks incurred by patients in daily work situations and to involve the top management. The time required to involve the teams is comparable to or even less than that required for a conventional risk analysis. The cost/benefit ratio of the method seems to be advantageous because it provides access to numerous information on daily activities, which makes it possible to improve the safety of patient care in radiotherapy. The information gathered allows relevant actions to be envisaged at both the technical and organizational levels, and to be linked to departmental projects.
