text: Actually, only 24% of surveyed establishments in ESENER 2019 reported discussing about the potential 
  impact of digitalisation on the health and safety of workers. Of those 24% of all surveyed establishments, 
  77% discuss the need for continuous training to keep skills updated. The next major topics are prolonged 
  sitting (65%) and the request for more flexibility for employees in terms of place of work and working 
  time (63%).280 
  
  Some obvious**side effects**on working conditions require political actions. In response to the rapid 
  development of online platform work in the EU, the European Commission started several activities on 
  how to**protect people working through digital platforms**. The new Strategic Framework on OSH 
  aims at adapting the OSH directives on Workplace minimum requirements and Digital screen equipment. 
  
  These fast and far-reaching changes by digitalisation have also triggered**ethical concerns**. The High- 
  Level Expert Group of the EU Commission on Ethics adds, referring to the development of AI:*‘In an AI*
  *context, freedom of the individual for instance requires mitigation of (in) direct illegitimate coercion,*
  *threats to mental autonomy and mental health, unjustified surveillance, deception and unfair*
  *manipulation.’*281 In a report from 2022, EU-OSHA highlighted the possible consequences of AI for 
  worker management.282
