Abstract

Relevance. In the context of globalisation and the active development of the industrial sector, issues of environmental and labor safety are increasingly pertinent. The study addresses the need to develop methods for enhancing these aspects to safeguard citizen life and health, particularly through integration into higher education curricula.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore modern methods for improving environmental and labour safety as foundational elements for national and higher education development.

Methodology. The study employed methods including analysis and synthesis, comparison, induction, and deduction to investigate the role of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, and monitoring sensors in enhancing environmental and labour safety.

Results. The study identified those innovative technologies, including AI, AR, VR, and monitoring sensors, play crucial roles in improving environmental and labour safety. Scientific and methodological approaches were proposed, encompassing educational initiatives among university students and industry employees, skill assessments, hazard monitoring teams, green infrastructure development, and the application of modern technologies for safety control.

Conclusions. The findings underscore the importance of integrating advanced technologies and methodological approaches into educational and industrial practices to enhance environmental and labour safety. Recommendations include better preparation of future professionals, optimization of professional practices, and improved performance of educational and research staff, benefiting both higher education institutions and industrial enterprises.
