Euroshnet 2022 Conference: Artificial Intelligence and OSH

Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > Euroshnet 2022 Conference: Artificial Intelligence and OSH

Euroshnet, the European network of OSH professionals involved in standardisation, testing and certification, is organizing its 7th European conference on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on occupational safety and health (OSH) in Paris on 22 October.

What does exactly “artificial intelligence” meant? In what areas is it and will it be used? What are the impacts of AI in interaction or collaboration with the individual? Is it acceptable, in terms of ethics and safety, to let AI take decisions in production, organisation and workflows? Who is legally responsible? How can technical reliability be controlled? How can regulations evolve to take account of developments? What challenges does standardisation face? What tests are AI systems subject to? What additional tests may be required to obtain certification?

These questions will be discussed by the speakers at the conference co-organized by EUROGIP and INRS for France.

DENMARK: faster processing of workers’ compensation claims

New rules, which come into force on 1 July, are designed to give victims of accidents at work a quicker response to their claim for compensation. From now on, employers, doctors and local authorities will be liable to a fine if they fail to provide information within the statutory time limit, i.e. no later than 14 days after the first day of absence, if the accident has resulted in the employee being unable to work or absent from work after the day of the accident.
