The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is celebrated on the 28th of April.

What UN says is that there are Emerging risks at work:

“New and emerging occupational risks may be caused by technical innovation or by social or organizational change, such as:

– New technologies and production processes, e.g. nanotechnology, biotechnology.
– New working conditions, e.g. higher workloads, work intensification from downsizing, poor conditions associated with migration for work, jobs in the informal economy.
– Emerging forms of employment, e.g. self-employment, outsourcing, temporary contracts.

They may be more widely recognized through better scientific understanding, e.g. the effects of ergonomic risks on musculoskeletal disorders.

They may be influenced by changes in perceptions about the importance of certain risk factors, e.g. the effects of psychosocial factors on work-related stress”.

Today, we have to identify the psychosocial effects that are coming because of the pandemic.

It is our responsibility to minimize them as much as possible and get the best and healthy place to work.
