The main objective of the programme is to develop innovative technical and organisational solutions, aimed at developing human resources, new products, technologies, management techniques and systems, which will help to reduce the number of workers exposed to harmful, dangerous and difficult factors, and reduce the number of work-related accidents, occupational diseases and consequent economic and social losses.

Specific objectives

• Develop innovative products and materials for collective and personal protective equipment and measures that help prevent and combat epidemic hazards, as well as develop methods to assess these measures in terms of safety, health and ergonomic requirements
• Develop systems to monitor working conditions, using Industrial Internet of Things, Virtual Reality techniques and Artificial Intelligence algorithms, designed to function in dynamically changing - due to the development of digital technologies of Industry 4.0 - work environments, as well as to study the risks associated with new forms of work and their prevention.
• Develop methods, criteria, test benches and equipment for testing and assessing workers' exposure to harmful and hazardous physical, chemical and biological factors, and ardous factors in the work environment, as well as diagnosing the level of exposure of selected groups of workers to these factors.
• Develop organizational and technical solutions to prevent the exclusion from the labour market of people with disabilities, the elderly, women and young workers, as well as solutions to help prevent psychophysical stress and maintain work ability.
• Develop new education and training tools and activities to disseminate and introduce the results of the Programme into socio-economic practice.
