Description

A conference dedicated to addressing new harmful factors, health risks and psychosocial issues at work and in everyday life is taking place in Poland. 

Organised by our Polish focal point, Centralny Instytut Ochrony Pracy - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, the activity brings together professionals from various fields.  

One of the conference's central themes will be a discussion of the emerging risks in the workplace. In the age of rapid technological advancements and shifting workplace structures, professionals are exposed to various environmental, physical and ergonomic hazards, from long hours of screen time and sedentary work to exposure to toxic materials in certain industries. These factors contribute to a range of health issues including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), vision problems and chronic fatigue.

Psychosocial issues linked to excessive workloads, isolation, unrealistic expectations and a lack of adequate support are also on the rise. The conference will address how to prevent and manage these issues at work.

Attendees will learn about the early signs of burnout and the strategies that can be employed by both employers and employees to create a more supportive and balanced work environment, as this issue affects not only individual performance but also organisational productivity.
