What are the challenges and the opportunities of digital transformation economy for health and safety at work in Europe? The question was at the heart of the EUROGIP Discussions on Thursday 15 March 2018 (Paris).

The major round tables addressed this issue from different aspects: the influence of ICT on work organisation, the impact of digital economy on insurance and prevention of occupational injuries with a focus on online platforms workers, the opportunities offered by digital technology to prevent occupational risks, European social dialogue, and the European Commission’s point of view.

Most of the exchanges are summarized in this document.

EUROGIP summarizes in this note the thoughts highlighted in various work done notably in France, Germany and the Netherlands in the field of collaborative robotics and risk prevention measures that could be implemented.

Collaborative robotics concerns robots capable of interacting with human beings as part of industrial processes. The human being and the robot thus share the same work area to carry out all or part of their tasks, whereas a “conventional” industrial robot is characterized by its physical remoteness and the fact that there is no collaboration with a human being. Although the stated objectives and expectations of the market players may diverge, it turns out that the identified risks are largely the same. And yet, societal issues involving collaborative robotics and increased interaction with human beings are apparently not neglected.

The “Salient events 2016” is an overview of EUROGIP’s main activities carried out in 2016 in the field of prevention and insurance of occupational accidents and diseases in Europe.

The document illustrates our vocation to share knowledge, to support the work of the Health – Occupational risks Insurance and to value our actions as those of this Insurance.

EUROGIP publishes “Salient events 2015“.

We hope that this new presentation of our annual report will allow you to have as much information on EUROGIP, its activities and the context in which it operates, thanks to some benchmarks on health and safety at work in 2015 mentioned in part 3.

Enjoy the reading and do not hesitate to invite people that could be interested to read this report!
