In a bid to enhance occupational safety and health (OSH) standards within the education sector, our Czech focal point Ministerstvo práce a sociálních věcí will host a seminar primarily addressed to OSH specialists, employers and experts from the education field.

The event aims to review important aspects of health protection and OSH risks prevalent in educational settings, as well as legislative aspects concerning OSH in education.

Attendees will learn how to analyse OSH risks in daily school operations and experts will also explore the dynamics between individuals and emerging technologies in educational workplaces, shedding light on both positive and negative implications for safety and health.

EU-OSHA’s ‘Safe and Healthy Work in the Digital Age’ campaign will be highlighted during the seminar and the speakers will explain how the campaign addresses the evolving landscape of work and proposes strategies to mitigate associated risks.
