“The most exciting challenges in OSH at the digital level include the full integration of AI and machine learning to prevent risks.”
In this interview, we discuss artificial intelligence in occupational safety and health (OSH) and the challenges of digitalization. Óscar Martos, CEO of Easy Tech Global and leader of Sabentis, offers insights that clarify the digital reality of OSH ahead of World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28. On this day, the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals into the daily operations of companies and organizations is highlighted as an action that must already be in place and being implemented. This is one of the ways to contribute to the global achievement of the 2030 Agenda for a more prosperous, just, and equitable society. More content is available on the Sabentis blog.
Artificial intelligence in occupational safety and health is the new revolution in occupational risk prevention.
Sabentis is at the forefront of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize occupational health and safety, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9, which promotes industry, innovation, and infrastructure. This implementation is materializing in services that improve efficiency and safety at work, offering clients innovative solutions that not only optimize their operations but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient infrastructure, following the guidelines for developing an innovative industry. We discuss this in more detail in this article on artificial intelligence applied to workplace safety.

As someone familiar with digital challenges, such as those set out in the European Digital Decade, and from your perspective, what level of compliance is observed in the occupational safety and health (OSH) technology sector in Europe? Is it the one setting the pace in this field?
Looking at the occupational health and safety technology sector in Europe, significant progress is evident towards achieving the goals set for the European Digital Decade. While challenges remain, the sector is showing gradual adaptation to new technologies and regulations. It is positioning itself as a leader in incorporating digital solutions that promote a safer and more efficient work environment. The fundamental challenge is leveraging technology to move from data to action.
What are the most exciting challenges that OSH presents, at a digital level, for 2030?
Looking ahead to 2030, the most exciting challenges in digital occupational safety and health (OSH) include the full integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to prevent workplace risks. Also included is the development of platforms that offer customized solutions to the specific needs of each sector and, of course, the creation of occupational health management systems that promote healthy and productive work environments. These challenges call for constant innovation and collaboration among different stakeholders, which is what we at Sabentis have been working on for some time. In practice, this translates into systems where AI anticipates accidents before they happen.
Psychosocial risks and mental health care are a global priority. What role do they play in integrated and digital occupational safety and health management?
Integrated and digital management of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) offers a unique opportunity to address psychosocial risks and mental health, recognizing them as crucial elements for worker well-being. Through Sabentis, it is possible to more efficiently monitor these risks, providing resources and tools that foster a healthy and safe work environment for everyone.
And what about sustainability? What possibilities for development and compliance can it have on a platform like Sabentis?
Sustainability represents a key development opportunity for platforms like Sabentis. By integrating sustainable practices into its operations and services, Sabentis can not only improve its environmental and social impact but also offer innovative solutions that meet growing customer demands for responsible and sustainable services. This includes everything from resource optimization to promoting safe and healthy work environments.
