Future workers gain essential OSH knowledge in the digital age

As the digital age reshapes workplaces, it is crucial to prepare new generations to integrate occupational safety and health (OSH) principles into this evolving environment. The Labour Inspectorate of Estonia (Tööinspektsioon) has organised a seminar aiming to equip students with essential knowledge about this topic, highlighting the main challenges they may face and practical strategies to overcome them.

From prolonged screen time leading to eye fatigue and repetitive strain injuries to the psychological impact of constant connectivity, the seminar will address these issues, in line with EU-OSHA’s ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ campaign. Experts will provide insights into ergonomic practices, stress management techniques and the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance in a digital setting. Attendees will learn various steps to mitigate these risks and create a safer, more productive work environment.

An overview of workers' rights and responsibilities in the digital age will be provided. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of labour relations, including their rights to a safe workplace, the responsibilities of employers and the mechanisms in place to address workplace grievances. The session will cover the fundamentals of OSH regulations, ensuring that students are aware of the protections available to them, as well as the role of the Labour Inspectorate.

The seminar will also include a practical session on what can be asked in a job interview related to digital work. This will prepare students for real-world scenarios, helping them understand what employers look for and how to present themselves effectively. Additionally, there will be a competitive game designed to consolidate the knowledge gained throughout the seminar, making the learning process engaging and memorable.
