Abstract: Based on a quantitative study of activity reports and on an ethnographic investigation, this paper analyses the changes in occupational doctors? activity due to increasing employees? health precariousness and to the reform of occupational health services. Company doctors concentrate their work practice on precarious employees because of the reorganization of medical activity associated with the de-medicalization of occupational health services. The longer follow-up of these sick employees confines company doctors? activity to stated health problems. They are thus prevented from accomplishing their first mission: dealing with occupational accidents and diseases prevention. This mission has now been transferred to multidisciplinary occupational health services professionals.
