The rapid digitalisation of workplaces is transforming how tasks are performed, with intelligent systems increasingly automating physical and cognitive tasks. As this shift gains momentum, an upcoming seminar will raise awareness about the occupational safety and health (OSH) challenges associated with these changes. 

Organised by our Lithuanian focal point, State Labour Inspectorate /Valstybinė darbo inspekcija, the event will bring together occupational safety officers to explore the risks and opportunities presented by the digitalisation of work, particularly in industries like manufacturing, healthcare and education. 

The integration of Et cyberfysisk system, hvor de indsamlede oplysninger via internettet indlæses i computere med henblik på indsamling af data om produktions- og arbejdsprocesser samt analyse af disse data i en hidtil uset detaljeringsgrad. Dette indebærer, at mennesker skaber en "ubikvitær verden", hvor alt udstyr ... vil være fuldt forbundet i netværk." IoT omdanner vores interaktion med den fysiske verden gennem enheder, der er forbundet med hinanden på en platform (f.eks. skyen) og udfører funktioner, der er adaptivt baseret på input og programmering. systems has the potential to enhance workplace efficiency by removing workers from hazardous environments and reducing their cognitive workloads. However, alongside these benefits, these technologies introduce new OSH risks that need to be carefully managed. The seminar aims to highlight these risks, including potential physical injuries caused by malfunctioning automation, increased psychosocial stress due to heightened surveillance and organisational disruptions as traditional work processes adapt to digital technologies. 

In addition to addressing these risks, the event will promote the importance of conducting thorough risk assessments and developing strategies for the safe management of digital technologies in various workplaces.
