With technological progress and innovation, there are new solutions in the field of health and safety, the most important goal of which is to improve the safety and health of employees.

Several important trends can be observed in the field of OSH today. One of the main trends is the growing importance of technology and innovation in improving the safety and health of workers. Modern solutions and rules are being introduced that are clearly intended to increase the safety of employees. The requirement of modernity is also the search for improvements, modern technologies and constant monitoring of the current state. Thanks to this, it is possible to effectively improve work safety.

HEALTH AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES YOU CAN WEAR

Smart watches and wearable wristbands allow employees to track their physical activity and monitor their health and fitness. Thanks to them, employers can identify potential threats to the health of employees and take appropriate preventive actions.

AR/VR TECHNOLOGIES

The upcoming trends in OSH focus on the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in the training and education of employees. These innovative technologies enable employees to train in a safe environment that simulates real working conditions.

IOT TECHNOLOGIES

Internet of Things (IoT) technology is revolutionizing the way employees monitor working conditions and safety. Thanks to the IoT, it is possible to connect various devices to collect more comprehensive information about work and the prevailing conditions in the workplace. Thanks to this, employers gain the ability to continuously monitor the working environment and detect potential threats to the health of employees in real time.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING IN THE SERVICE OF OHS

Artificial intelligence and machine learning make it possible to process large amounts of data to identify trends and patterns. Thanks to these technologies, employers can identify potential risks to the health of employees and develop preventive strategies.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

Access control systems allow you to control the movement of employees in a specific workplace. They allow you to monitor who has access to specific areas and limit unauthorized access. Such systems are particularly important in workplaces where there is a potential threat to the health and life of employees.

ALARM SYSTEMS

Alarm systems enable immediate notification of employees and emergency services in the event of an accident or a threat to the health and life of employees. Thanks to them, it is possible to quickly take appropriate rescue actions.

OHS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Modern health and safety management software plays a key role in the effective management of all aspects of safety and health in the workplace. Thanks to this advanced system, it is possible to monitor employee training, manage health and safety documentation, conduct risk analyzes and implement appropriate changes. This software centrally collects and accesses health and safety data, providing easy access to training history, inspection reports, and documentation of procedures and regulations.

ONLINE OHS TRAINING TO IMPROVE EMPLOYEE SAFETY

OHS training for companies online enables remote training of employees in the field of safety and health at work. Thanks to them, employees can acquire knowledge and skills at their own pace, without the need to participate in stationary training.

INNOVATIVE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Innovative personal protective equipment, such as protective clothing equipped with sensors, can contribute to the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases. They allow you to monitor working conditions and identify potential hazards.

CARE FOR THE WELL-BEING OF EMPLOYEES

There is now a growing understanding and priority regarding the well-being of employees. Companies implement wellness programs that enable employees to use various forms of physical activity and participate in health and psychology training. These initiatives are aimed at improving both the physical and mental condition of employees, which in turn leads to an increase in their motivation and productivity. Wellness programs may include access to gyms, fitness classes, health counseling, meditation, stress reduction programs, and other health and wellness activities.

ATTENTION TO ERGONOMICS

Maintaining ergonomics in the workplace is a priority to prevent occupational diseases and injuries. Modern companies are increasingly investing in ergonomic workstations that provide employees with comfort and minimize muscle tension and stress. When designing workstations, ergonomic principles are taken into account, such as the appropriate height and arrangement of furniture, the adaptation of tools and equipment to the individual needs of employees, and the provision of adequate lighting and ventilation.

COOPERATION WITH OHS TEAMS

Cooperation with health and safety teams contributes to the identification of potential threats to the health and life of employees and to the development of preventive strategies. This is especially important in workplaces where there is a potential threat to the health of employees.

ACTION AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR LABOR PROTECTION

It is very important to regularly monitor the recommendations issued by the Central Institute for Labor Protection, because it has a huge impact on trends related to occupational safety. Do you know what this institution does? First of all, it conducts research and development work. In addition, he is responsible for the implementation of tasks set by the Council of Ministers. Therefore, they have a direct influence on the formation of trends.
