Safe task automation: Event in the Netherlands

Advanced robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) present clear occupational safety and health (OSH) advantages, such as the ability to remove workers from hazardous environments and reduce their cognitive workload. For instance, robots can handle dangerous machinery and materials, while artificial intelligence can streamline routine administrative tasks, therefore reducing mental strain on employees.

However, these technological advancements also come with risks, which need careful consideration. An upcoming event hosted by our focal point in the Netherlands TNO Prevention, Work & Health will examine these implications of task automation at work.

Speakers will present the psychosocial and physical impact of automation, including issues such as fear of job loss or a loss of control over an employee’s work. Issues such as automation bias, where workers overly rely on automated systems, and low acceptance of new technologies can lead to safety issues or reduced morale.

The event will examine these issues and offer solutions on how to tackle them to ensure worker safety and health.
