In recent years, remote and hybrid work have become the standard for many people due to their many advantages. However, these new ways of working also bring increased risks to worker wellbeing, as there is a lack of information concerning occupational safety and health (OSH) in this context.

To kick off the ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ campaign in Finland and as part of the European Week for Safety and Health at Work, EU-OSHA’s focal point in the country, Työterveyslaitos, is organising a webinar to encourage discussions about the effects of digitalisation on OSH, with a specific focus on telework.

The event will delve into research data and real-life case studies related to flexible work arrangements, as well as future developments. It will also underscore the importance of conducting regular risk assessments to an audience of managers, human resources professionals, OSH specialists and labour market partners.
