Abstract

The article discusses the question of whether the existing occupational health and safety (OHS) system can provide the necessary protection for employees and design measures for the prevention of labour intensification associated with digitalisation processes. Another aspect is the role of competency development. The proposed concept of individual work-related health literacy provides potential for safety and work design. The starting point is the finding that especially in the context of digitalisation the share of psychosocial demands on work is rising and that work intensification can be a result of the blending of work and private life. This is indicated by the results of an exploratory study on the question of the effectiveness of OHS structures. The results provide a deep insight into structures, conflicts and ambivalences in the search for healthy and safe working conditions and show that operational procedures have to be adapted as well as institutional OHS structures. Otherwise work intensification becomes a blind spot in operational design endeavours.
