OAIC 2023's Highlight

EMPHASIZES

SAFETY · HEALTH · Working Environment

     The focus of scientific debates on safety has shifted from substantive assessments to risk perception, acceptance, and management. New terminologies, paradigms, and concepts have emerged in the field of foresight in regards to social science recognition. At the same time, debates about the nature of security emerged, with differing perspectives on safety. Various types of safety, such as process safety, occupational safety, external safety, rescue, and emergency safety, are all distinct concepts.  In this context, safety is seen as a shared responsibility and a potential opportunity for the future. This approach has been adopted by many experts in the field of safety, including regulatory agencies. The use of this approach has proven to be very useful in providing feedback on the design of technology and organizations, as well as managing safety during operations. There are measures that can be taken to create a safer environment, such as incorporating safety as a social value on par with health, the environment, wealth, sustainability, and prosperity at all levels of the system and throughout its lifecycle. The challenge of safety management uses a systematic approach to combine learning from past incidents and problems in order to effectively manage safety. This approach allows for a more comprehensive and proactive approach to managing safety. The importance of safety will be recognized as a strategic value for society.  There has to be one step required for the analysis and the standards that follow then will be an indication of how this will happen in other countries.

     On this occasion, the OAIC was viewed as a good beginning. This approach emphasizes the sharing of knowledge from experts and the exchange of information with occupational safety and health networks. This demonstrates commitment and readiness to improve operations in the area of occupational safety and health, and to raise the standard of work in this field. These efforts aim to create ongoing awareness through the development of knowledge and the dissemination of information about processes for promoting safety practices and culture. This is important in light of the changes and risks in the new global context, which require workers to be more capable and competitive in the global trade arena.

Digital
Technology
and
Automation
for Safer
Working Life

     Digital technology and automation can help to make the workplace safer in several ways. For example, automation can be used to perform dangerous tasks, such as handling hazardous materials, reducing the risk of injury to human workers. Digital technology can also be used to monitor the safety of the workplace, such as by using sensors to detect potential safety hazards. Additionally, digital technology can be used to provide workers with information and training on how to safely perform their tasks. Digital technology and automation can help to improve safety in the workplace and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. The topics that could be covered include, but are not limited to, the following options.

Automation robotic handed for high-risk works

Digital Technology for workers in high-risk work

Online working during a pandemic crisis, work from home

Innovation for occupational and safety management

Adapting Lifestyle for SAFER and HEALTHIER Life

     Megatrends and well-being are both emerging as key issues in the modern world. Well-being is a complex concept that encompasses a range of dimensions, including physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, economic, environmental and job security. The topics that could be covered include, but are not limited to, the following options.

Promote health and promote healthy lifestyles

Provide and design work environments that are ergonomically sound

Health, social, environmental, and economic changes impact and affect health and well-being.

Scheduling time for relaxing physical activity throughout the workday

Maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life

Emerging diseases

Cultivating safety and healthy mindset for new generation

Safety Issues in Informal Sectors and Vulnerable Workers

     The shift towards a more digitalized and globalized world has led to the emergence of new work patterns and the rise of informal workers. As the workforce shifts towards more digital platforms, workers of all ages may face limited access to social welfare benefits and increased job-related risks. This transition can be especially challenging for older workers who may not have experience with digital technology. The topics that could be covered include, but are not limited to, the following options.

     A platform worker : Safety and health issue challenges for informal workers and social protections; for example, a cleaning platform, an elderly health care platform, a rider platform, a taxi driver platform, and a platform for home-based workers.

Aging society: Elderly workers may face chronic health conditions and safety concerns. Investing in training and skill development, as well as providing ergonomic workstations, can help protect and support these workers.

Vulnerable workers: Vulnerable workers in the context of occupational health and safety refer to workers with an elevated risk of occupational injury or illness.
