Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health V

This book gathers cutting-edge research and best practices  relating to occupational risk and safety management, healthcare, and  ergonomics. It covers strategies for different industries, such as  construction, chemical and healthcare. It emphasizes challenges posed by  automation, discusses solutions offered by technologies, and reports on  case studies carried out in different countries. Chapters are based on  selected contributions to the 20th International Symposium on  Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SHO 2023), held on July 20-21, 2023, in  Portugal, as a hybrid event. By reporting on different perspectives,  such as the ones from managers, employees, and OSH professionals, and  covering timely issues, such as implications of telework, issues related  to gender inequality and applications of machine learning techniques in  occupational health, this book offers extensive information and a  source of inspiration to OSH researchers, practitioners and  organizations operating in both local and global contexts.
