Businesses have been admonished to brace-up for future disruptions in the technological space, as their impact could be overwhelming. A Convener for the 2020 Ghana Industry Safety Conference (GHISCON), Dr. Tony Obeng says the future presents a more challenging space for entities that fail to adapt to technological changes than pandemics.

In his address at a virtual conference organized by the Sekondi Takoradi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, on the theme; “Leveraging technology to achieve a sustainable safety culture”, Dr. Obeng indicated that the effects of these potential disruptions have not been given adequate attention and research, and thus could present some stressors on organizations that fail to adapt for it.

“The world must welcome disruptions. The world must make peace with disruptions because apparently we going to be living with disruptions and it might not be pandemics but technological.

“What we haven’t taken notice of is the usage of technology and its effect on safety and workplace culture.”

Dr. Obeng continued that globalization has birth technological tools that could be integrated into works systems to mitigate the impact of such an unknown crisis.

“We can develop worker-centric safety technology to enhance our work.

“What we can look at, is exploring cloud-based solutions…where information can be accessed anywhere,” he noted.
