In celebration of European Week for Safety and Health at Work, an event focusing on addressing the evolving challenges that digitalisation brings to modern workplaces is taking place in Zagreb.

As technological advancements continue to reshape the way we work, this event hosted by our focal point, Ministarstvo rada, mirovinskoga sustava, obitelji i socijalne politike, will provide a platform for professionals, institutions, companies and representatives from various ministries to explore how these changes impact safety and health in the workplace.

The event’s program aims to facilitate in-depth discussions on digitalisation, specifically its influence on different industries and the adjustments required to ensure that workplaces remain safe and efficient. From Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. to (AI) AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of things applications). (AI), digital solutions are increasingly transforming how tasks are performed, and this event will offer insights into how organisations can effectively integrate these technologies into their operations while prioritising worker wellbeing.

One of the event’s highlights will be case studies presented by companies that have successfully integrated digital technologies into their work processes. Among the key topics to be discussed are the use of exoskeletons to assist workers with heavy lifting, Use of systems or technical procedures to allow a device or system to execute (partially or fully) a function that was previously, or conceivably could be, carried out (partially or fully) by a human. technologies that enhance efficiency and health, modern firefighting solutions that leverage digital advancements and the growing application of AI refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals. AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of things applications). to improve workplace safety protocols.

Additionally, the concept of digital safety integration will be explored, illustrating how connected systems can create a more proactive and responsive safety environment.
