New technologies, global labourmarket changes and sectoral shifts are creating new risks at work thatrequire more complex and comprehensive occupational safety andhealth responses. OECD guidelines and international initiatives tomeasure the quality of the working environment are contributing toimproving well-being at work, but their impact remains limited.Ensuring decent work and a safe working environment is a priority of theSustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda and an importantpolicy objective in Hungary.
