«The Ministry of Labor and “Skolkovo” will create a center of competence to receive feedback from corporate customers: the parties will identify and work on outdated laws and other regulations and will jointly select modern IT-solutions in the field of labor protection” said Konstantin Parshin.
He also noted that a vivid example of the introduction of IT-technologies in the field of labor protection might be the process of training employees in enterprises with a high risk of industrial injuries. Now training could process not only with books and in-person lectures, but also with the use of modern online methods, using virtual reality tools for example.
