With the launch of the 2023-25 Healthy Workplaces Campaign ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ drawing near, our media partner, Bozpinfo (Occupational Safety Research Institute), has been actively promoting the campaign and emphasising the significance of occupational safety and health (OSH) at several important events.

From 24 to 29 August, the partner, along with the Czech National Focal Point (the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs) and the State Labour Inspection Office, supported by EU-OSHA, joined an information stand at the international agrosalon Země živitelka. This event, the largest of its kind in  Czechia and Slovakia, caters to both professionals and the general public and highlights the current trends and research across various fields of the agricultural sector.

The experts onsite provided extensive information and guidance on OSH as part of the campaign. The famous Napo character added a touch of charm by welcoming visitors, who were also treated to the screenings of films featuring Napo. Guests at the booth could enhance their knowledge of safety and health as well as appropriate workplace behaviour through interactive activities like games, quizzes, crosswords, and immersive virtual reality OSH training.

Furthermore, in collaboration with EU-OSHA and the Focal Point, our partner hosted a professional seminar scheduled for 11 September. This seminar not only covered the latest updates of the campaign, but also delved into the transformative impact of digital technologies on the workplace, exploring the challenges and opportunities they bring to OSH, as well as touched upon communication technologies in the safety and health domain. Similar to the agrosalon, participants were able to try out OSH training using a virtual reality tool.
