Executive Agency "Main Labor Inspectorate" (IA GIT) will mail self-monitoring questionnaires to businesses in economic sectors where new forms of labor based on information technologies are feasible in order to take part in the European Week of Safety and Health at labor. This new approach to oversight gives businesses the power to detect and rectify violations of labor laws on their own accord.
Each year, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EA-OSH) dedicates a week to raising awareness about the need of providing workers with a healthy and safe environment in the modern digital era. It always takes place during the 43rd week of the calendar, which falls between October 23rd and 27th, 2023. The core theme of EA-BZR's "Healthy Workplaces" campaign is that "safety and health at work are everyone's concern," therefore this is an integral aspect of that effort. The benefits are real. It's a boon to commerce.
The European Week is a chance for participating governmental institutions, social partners, companies, and civic groups to share their efforts and achievements in preventing the issues highlighted by the campaign. Healthy Workplaces has five main goals for the years 2023–2025: digital platform work, robots and AI development, remote work, smart digital systems, and AI-based workforce management. The campaign's website, https://healthy-workplaces.osha.europa.eu/bg, has further details.
The General Labor Inspectorate has created 104 closed-ended self-monitoring questions to assess compliance with various aspects of labor law, including remote employment. The surveys may be sent out, filled out, and sent back, and the responses can be analyzed, all with the help of specialized software. Employers reveal their policy on a certain problem by selecting a response to a series of questions. Even in businesses that may not have been subject to Labor Inspectorate oversight previously, working conditions have improved thanks to employers' efforts to reduce anomalies. Each quiz in the program includes a good practice example that is shared with the user.
This cutting-edge approach was created as part of a project called "Optimization and Innovations in IA GIT," which received funding from the European Union's Operational Program for the Development of Human Resources, with assistance from the European Social Fund.
IA GIT has included a unique strategy in its Annual Plan to track down businesses that have begun offering remote work opportunities as a means of protecting the labor rights of remote workers. The control bodies of the Labor Inspection are still working toward a smooth rollout of the measure, despite the fact that identifying them is difficult owing to the lack of a database for this purpose. The purpose of the inspections is to make certain of its unique qualities, such as the method of task allocation, the recording of working hours, and the distribution of wages. The areas of commerce and information technology have recently been the focus of the majority of audits. /BGNES
