ABSTRACT

Contemporary prevention policy continues to be bedded in outstripped paradigms. It seems to be screened off, both in theoretical approaches and practical applications, from the fundamental developments occurring in our society. While society is exploding exponentially under the impetus of technology and economy, the prevention policy remains largely suspended in an atmosphere of legal positivism linked to a Tayloristic organizational approach with the emphasis on specialized technical experts and under-aged executors. Despite everything, clear directives and strict hierarchical supervision are still the most effective management tools in this perspective. All of this ignores the enormous developments that have occurred in the past decades, both in the reality of our existing industrial order and in the reference frameworks and theoretical models used to view this reality.
