Abstract

Formålet med dette forskningsarbejde er at afdække måder, hvorpå arbejdsmiljø kan inddrages (integreres) i miljøbistandsprojekter, der har til formål at promovere brugen af renere teknologi i industrien. Forskningsgenstanden er mere specifikt de renere teknologi projekter, der blev sat i værk af Danced i Sydafrika i perioden 1999-2000.Der afdækkes to principielt forskellige former for integration: Den første er integration i planlægningsfasen -- altså integration i de projektplanlægningsværktøjer som Danced benytter, når et renere teknologi projekt skal defineres. Dette er integration af arbejdsmiljø i projektspecifikationen, så at sige.Den anden form er integration i de miljøaktiviteter, der finder sted på virksomhedsniveau i et renere teknologi projekt. Dette benævnes integration i implementeringsfasen. Der skelnes i dette forskningsarbejde mellem store og små virksomheder. For de store virksomheder kan formelle (miljø)ledelsessystemer være en attraktiv projektaktivitet. Integration vil her betyde integration af ledelsessystemer for miljø og arbejdsmiljø. For de små virksomheder kan en mere uformel netværksaktivitet være attraktiv. Integration vil her betyde integration i uformelle læreprocesser.
