Abstract

Data glasses can enable more efficient, mobile and flexible work processes, but at the same time new hazards can arise for employees. A number of questions in the context of safe and healthy work with data glasses and the associated application context have not yet been sufficiently investigated or represented in a normative way. So how can work with data glasses currently be made safe and healthy? The literature review analyzes over 2950 papers in regard to different important OSH viewpoints concerning the new introduction of technology at the workplace.
