Artificial Intelligence and digital tools are revolutionizing occupational safety and health . Today, robots are operating in hazardous environments, doing the heavy lifting, managing toxic materials and working in extreme temperatures. They take on repetitive and monotonous tasks, while digital devices and sensors can detect hazards early on . At the same time, in the absence of adequate OSH measures, digital technologies can lead to accidents, ergonomic risks, work intensification, reduced job control and blurred boundaries. The campaign will shed light on how new technologies are transforming OSH , including through the automation of tasks, use of smart OSH tools and monitoring systems, extended reality and virtual reality and algorithmic management of work. The digital transformation of work has led to evolving work arrangements, such as telework and digital labour platforms, which will be further examined. The ILO will release a new report and promotional materials analyzing th...
