Digital technologies for worker management, implications for safety and health : a comparative study of two automotive companies in Belgium and Italy : report

This study investigates the implications of digital technologies and artificial intelligence-based worker management (AIWM) systems for occupational safety and health (OSH) through a comparative analysis of two automotive companies in Belgium and Italy. The research aims to explore how these technologies influence work organisation, workers' wellbeing and OSH in different organisational settings. By examining the contrasting experiences of a large original equipment manufacturer in Belgium and a smaller Tier 1 supplier in Italy, the study provides insights into how managerial approaches shape the impact of AIWM on working conditions and OSH.
