(00:08):
You see me, dear invisible friends, welcome back to the podcast of safety,
health and much more. Today Iam going with a very interesting subject
that I gave in my mind afew days ago because I had time that
I didn' t talk about it, and that is that it happened with
innovation in safety and safety at work. Although long ago and before anyone in
this area thought that safety and healthat work could make innovation. I already

(00:32):
defined the steps and how to doit. Of course, this comes from
existing models with other areas that Iadapted to safety and salute the work.
Today, much of the professionals inthe area call themselves innovators, even those
who are dinosaurs of prevention. Butthat' s just a name, because

(00:54):
all they do and sell is thesame as always and my invisible friends.
It' s not innovation. It' s doing the same thing and they
' ll keep it in the sameplace getting the same results. And the
results are those who talk about safetyand health at work. As they say.

(01:15):
That' s where good intentions don' t mean to analyze that.
But being in this the innovation shinesby its use in the area, by
more pseudo- innovation congresses that aremade, the dinosaurs of prevention keep everything
the same. We remain almost thesame as 20 years ago, with some

(01:38):
exceptions. Of course it is onlythat today in artificial intelligences or, to
make it accurate, generational artificial intelligenceslike target p does much of the work
of the preventionist with a two bythree hours. He needs to know how
to use it, but we cansay that there is resistance to change,

(01:59):
or that there are people who don' t let the area change for their
own interests. Each person draws hisor her conclusions and analyses the situation.
The lack of innovation in safety andhealth at work is evident and felt everywhere.
Despite technological advances and growing awareness ofthe importance of preserving the well-
being of employees, many companies andpreventionists are still rooted in obsolete practices and

(02:28):
some are held to the force,and this not only puts the physical and
mental integrity of workers at risk,but also limits their productivity and efficiency.
Understand to earn money. But look, there' s a lot of Proventionists
who keep doing the same thing,making up around here, dressing up over

(02:50):
there. The same thing is alwaysand that is not innovation. And I
' m not gonna get tired ofrepeating it, because there are people who
are selling no cat for a hareand that' s not what it is.
One of the main obstacles to innovationin this field is resistance to change.
If there is enough recent change ofpeople who do not want to change
what many organizations are doing and especiallypreventionists. If you are listening to this,

(03:16):
you cling to traditional methods, forfear of investing, for fear of
exploring new solutions that, although initiallymay seem costly or complex, in the
long term offer significant benefits. Forboth employees and companies, they are the

(03:37):
ones who usually invest money in thesethings. This pseudo- conservative mentality prevents
the adoption of emerging technologies, suchas artificial intelligence on the Internet of Things,
etc, etc, etc, whichcould significantly transform the way occupational risks

(03:57):
are managed. Which companies actually usetechnology today to prevent and care for their
employees with their fingers. In addition, there is a significant lack of training,
awareness of emerging risks in the workplace. With the rapid advancement of technology,

(04:19):
new dangers arise that require immediate stressand mitigation strategies for these up-
to- date ones. However,if employers and employees do not agree adequately
informed about these risks, because ofthat preventionist living in Narnia, proactive measures

(04:39):
can not be taken to prevent accidentsof occupational diseases That is why the overall
figures of accidents and diseases rarely changeanalyze the number of any organization of these
that is out there and they willsee it and see it in number.

(05:00):
And that truth cannot be hidden thatpreventive strategies in recent years have failed in
many areas of different industries. That' s something we need to get into
the light, because we need toanalyze why things are working out for us.
Another factor contributing to this situation isinsufficient investment and development research, as

(05:23):
they call it. That is why, and even more so in our field
of health safety, many companies considerexpenditure on improving working conditions to be a
luxury rather than a necessity. Althoughthere are excesses with fingers, limited perception,
exploration of new ideas and the developmentof innovative tools could revolutionize the way

(05:46):
occupational safety and health are addressed.But why don' t they invest.
And more so if there is noone to understand the preventionist who moves the
investment of that money, the moneywill not come out of the company accounts

(06:06):
by homosinverted, because there must bea why and a for what. I
' m going to invest in imasin a company and someone has to take
care of selling that and, usually, it should be the preventionist. Things
a good amount of preventiveism have noidea how to do. Which is the
sad part. The implementation of stricterpublic policies eye is a double- edged

(06:32):
knife, because it hardly ever works, since it seemed to be the legal
government, more corruption is created andworking alone to enforce the law is not
to make prevention or make innovation.It' s red tape. Promoting the

(06:53):
culture of innovation within organisations is across- sectional step. To overcome these
challenges, it is a mental foundationfor both Governments and businesses to recognize the
importance of investing in advanced technologies andtraining their staff to create safer and healthier
work environments. Only in this waywill it be possible to move towards a

(07:17):
more resilient industry adapted to the demandsof the 21st century. But here comes
the big question, at least frommy person, which government favors innovation in
safety and health at work. Iwant you to illustrate me, because I
do not know any and less inLatin America the lack of innovation in the

(07:39):
area of salun safety attracted is analtifacetic problem, since it has multiple facets
and multiple actors that participate in it, that requires a joint action of companies,
employees and governments and, of course, of the provicionists and put the
batteries through investment or technology, continuoustraining and the implementation of appropriate policies.

(08:01):
It is possible to build a futureof occupational safety and health and worker welfare
is a priority and, above alland above all, to produce concrete and
tangible results, which is what wewant. I don' t fake pods
and write on a little paper,as I' m always available on social
media. Steal safety and health.Steal safety and health. Be and in

(08:24):
the blog number one of occupational safetyand health in Spanish Safety and Health,
dot org as always. Thanks forjoining me and we' re listening.
