Smart Workplaces: AI, Robotics and the Implications for Occupational Safety and Health - Galway

The Health and Safety Authority invites you to attend this seminar on the EU Healthy Workplaces Campaign which aims to raise awareness around the occupational safety and health (OSH) challenges, risks and opportunities related to the digital age.

Digital technologies provide essential services and solutions for all sectors of the economy and society. Digital technologies are not only changing how we work, but also where and when we work. Robotics and ( ) support and replace personnel operating in hazardous environments. enables more effective monitoring systems.

Despite its benefits, the impact of digitalisation on occupational safety and health (OSH) is still emerging and relatively uncharted. If a human-centred approach is taken when designing, implementing, managing and using digital technologies, it can help to ensure worker safety and business productivity.

Attendees will hear from experts in the area of human factors and the psychosocial aspects of this new and emerging work environment. Attendees will also hear from industry representatives and speakers on the topics of and Robotics.

Who should attend?

  • Employers and duty-holders
  • Operations managers
  • Production managers
  • Worker representatives
  • Safety representatives
  • OSH researchers and consultants

Robotics and (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).
