According to EU-OSHA, addressing the impact of technologies like robots or artificial intelligence (AI) and new forms of work such as digital platform work and remote work, its newest Healthy Workplaces Campaign, which runs from 2023 to 2025, aims to promote collaboration, enhance awareness, and encourage a safe and productive use of digital technologies across diverse sectors and workplaces.

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: “As a European social partner and an interest group of workers from across Europe, helping to shape the evolving digitalisation of work in a constructive, proactive way is essential for CESI. Digitalisation is a fact and reality, and it is up to all involved stakeholders to manage it in a sustainable manner and to the benefit for all concerned actors.”

He added: “The 2023-25 ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ campaign of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is a key instrument for CESI to further explore challenges that digitalisation can mean for work environments, to assess how digital work can be deployed in safe ways, and to increase awareness, knowledge and expertise among its members on ways in which digital technologies can actually improve occupational health and safety. To this end, the campaign will be an important platform for CESI engage in exchanges of best practices with companies, unions, and further stakeholders from across Europe.”
