INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO ENSURING LABOR SAFETY IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

In the modern context of rapid digital technology development, the issue of labor safety is acquiring new significance. Traditional methods of occupational safety become less effective under the conditions of production and management digitalization. Innovative approaches, such as automated monitoring systems, risk management information systems, and the use of virtual reality for training, are becoming key elements of modern strategies for ensuring labor safety. The implementation of automated monitoring systems allows for the prompt tracking of hazardous working conditions, identifying potential risks, and taking quick measures to eliminate them. These systems are equipped with sensors and analytical software capable of providing a higher level of safety than traditional methods. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of implementing innovative approaches to ensuring labor safety in the context of digital transformation in higher education institutions. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the implementation of innovative approaches to ensuring labor safety in the context of digital transformation, which includes automated monitoring systems, risk management information systems, and the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies for employee training. The use of ESP-32 microcontrollers to collect data from various sensors, transmitted to the server via HTTPS, ensures effective control over production processes. The integration of data from various sources for comprehensive analysis and decision-making allows for effective planning of occupational safety measures and tracking their implementation. Big data analytics helps identify trends and predict potential hazards. The use of VR technologies for employee training creates realistic models of working environments and hazardous situations, improving the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The implementation of innovative approaches to ensuring labor safety in the context of digital transformation is a necessary step to improve the efficiency and safety of production processes. Automated monitoring systems, risk management information systems, and the use of VR technologies for training create new opportunities for ensuring safe working conditions and reducing professional risks. These innovative methods allow for a quick response to hazardous conditions, effective planning of safety measures, and increasing employee awareness, which ultimately contributes to the improvement of overall safety levels in enterprises.
