In recent years, various studies have shown the importance of instituting Work Debate Spaces (WDS) within companies to improve safety management, team performance and team members’ health within organizations [12, 16]. For years, ergonomists have been using simulation in various projects as a method for eliciting workers’ actual activity in the discussions [19]. The aim of the paper is to show how a cross-simulation method implemented in WDS can contribute to foster collective learning and improve professional practices and procedures in a high risk organization. This paper will present in a first part the context and the theoretical framework of the action research and the cross-simulation’ methodological device built by the researchers. In a second part, it will develop the results of an experiment carried out by using the cross-simulation device in WDS in a road-tunnel operating company. We will conclude presenting the conditions and limits for both the cross-simulation method and WDS to be effective.
