Slovenia – Educating students about safety and health at work

Despite all the benefits that digital working brings, it creates a number of challenges related to safety and health – especially in the fields of ergonomics and mental health, among others.

To raise awareness about this important issue, the Slovenian national focal point is organising a film screening for the students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Maribor. Two documentaries are presented; "Before the Bridge" and "Automatic Fitness", both of which address the increasing automation of the way we work and live. Following the screening, a representative from the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities highlights critical factors in maintaining good safety and health practices at work.

The event takes place via Microsoft Teams, and would be useful for any students from the university who are interested in understanding the challenges involved in workplace safety and health in the digital age.  

Speaker:

• Nikolaj Petrišič, chief of Department of safety and health at work at the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities
