AI and digital tools are revolutionizing occupational safety and health. Today, robots are operating in hazardous environments, doing the heavy lifting, managing toxic materials and working in extreme temperatures. They take on repetitive and monotonous tasks, while digital devices and sensors can detect hazards early on. At the same time, in the absence of adequate OSH measures, digital technologies can lead to accidents, ergonomic risks, work intensification, reduced job control and blurred boundaries. Please join the International Labour Organization on the occasion of World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2025 to hear from Manal Azzi as she explores how AI and digitalization are shaping #OSH systems across sectors and countries. https://lnkd.in/d6iTJKYp #SafeDay
