The advent of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 has led to significant technological progress and innovations which translate into enormous benefits for production, sustainability and the protection of workers' health and safety. At the same time, new OSH risks and dangers inevitably emerge. The object of this study is to observe the consequences that automation and advanced robotics determine in the field of health and safety at work, analyzing statistics and official reports on injuries and accidents that have occurred in the workplace in the European context in the last 15 years. The investigation used official datasets obtained from Eurostat, whitepapers published by EU-OSHA and several scientific articles. The results highlight how the topic is widely discussed, but it is not possible yet to assert with certanty that these injuries are caused by automation.
L’avvento dell’Industria 4.0 e dell’Industria 5.0 ha determinato rilevanti progressi e innovazioni tecnologiche che si traducono in enormi benefici per la produzione, per la sostenibilità e per la tutela della salute e della sicurezza dei lavoratori. Al contempo, emergono inevitabilmente nuovi rischi e pericoli in materia di SSL. L’obiettivo di questo studio è osservare le conseguenze che l’automazione e la robotica avanzata determinano in ambito di salute e sicurezza sul lavoro, analizzando statistiche e rapporti ufficiali sugli infortuni e sugli incidenti avvenuti sul luogo di lavoro nel contesto europeo negli ultimi 15 anni. L’indagine si è servita di dataset ufficiali reperiti dall’Eurostat, whitepaper pubblicati dall’EU-OSHA e diversi articoli scientifici. I risultati evidenziano come la tematica sia di interesse, ma non è ancora possibile ricondurre con certezza all’automazione la causa degli infortuni riportati dalle statistiche.

Abstract
The advent of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 has led to significant technological progress and innovations which translate into enormous benefits for production, sustainability and the protection of workers' health and safety. At the same time, new OSH risks and dangers inevitably emerge. The object of this study is to observe the consequences that automation and advanced robotics determine in the field of health and safety at work, analyzing statistics and official reports on injuries and accidents that have occurred in the workplace in the European context in the last 15 years. The investigation used official datasets obtained from Eurostat, whitepapers published by EU-OSHA and several scientific articles. The results highlight how the topic is widely discussed, but it is not possible yet to assert with certanty that these injuries are caused by automation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
