Emerging Technologies and the Safety and Health Of Working People: Knowledge Gaps and Research Directions
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2006-136 (August 2006)
While emerging technologies can potentially create or transform industries, their development has far outpaced our understanding of their implications for occupational safety and health. Applications of emerging technologies may pose new hazards to workers or they may offer solutions to eliminate or reduce current workplace risks. This report focuses on four areas of research and development needed to identify and evaluate the possible positive and negative impacts of emerging technologies on occupational safety and health.
