Occupational exposure to Optical Radiations: updates on protection and prevention strategies

30 April 2026 - Webinar - 15:00-17.00 CEST Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Occupational Safety and Health While AI and automation technologies offer exciting opportunities, they also bring a range of potential hazards that deserve our attention. The pace at which AI and automation are being developed and integrated is truly remarkable, but it also means we need to act quickly to address any adverse issues before they become deeply rooted. To help shed light on these concerns, we are hosting a webinar that will provide a comprehensive overview of the hazards that workers may face due to AI and automation. During this session, we will identify hazards and explore various approaches to control them, including regulation, engineering and administrative controls, effective training, and thoughtful design strategies. The goal is to equip occupational safety and health professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to proactively manage these challenges and create safer workplaces for all.
