Abstract

This document describes the challenges associated with the integration and implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. A systematic review was carried out, considering scientific articles in the field of occupational safety and health. Several factors were found to contribute to a challenge to be resolved for those responsible for the well-being of workers in the industry. The use of technology, its dependence, its needs, and other aspects related to the dependence on the use of technology contribute to occupational safety and health risks that are psychosocial in nature and have a direct impact on the performance of the company, so that workplace risk plans must be restructured taking into account these new challenges.
