Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a profound impact on workers’ health and well-being. There are significant implications for Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) as we transit to the new normal, including the adoption of digital health solutions, emergence of remote work and the need to review our perspectives on the traditional OSH framework in tackling workplace hazards in a pandemic. This will better prepare us for the inevitable next global pandemic.
