Promoting the occupational health services' efforts in relation to technological changes in enterprises

The occupational health service (OHS) in Denmark is only sparsely involved as adviser when technological changes take place in client enterprises. In order to promote the OHS efforts in this area, the work of OHS consultants has been studied in four cases of technological change. Instead of the two-dimensional expert – process consultant role we suggest a supplementary third role, the ‘political reflective navigator’. This role is suggested based on evidence from the cases and concepts from actor-network theory on technological develop-ment.
