The aim of this research is the application of the Method of Organizational Congruencies before and after the substitution of organic solvents with vegetable agents for the cleaning of an offset printing machine in order to assess the organizational changes. A solvent-free process is the goal of the Subsprint Project (Technology Transfer Program of the European Community). This, study shows how human and environmental health is improved by using vegetable agents, though this change may lead to some other organizational constraints such as an increase of the time needed, monotony, and repetitiveness of the technical actions involved. The authors underline ’that the knowledge of the impact of the new technology on health helps a better understanding of the resistance to the change and its further amelioration.
