Abstract

Modern technologies are transforming occupational health and safety training by enhancing education, innovation, fire prevention, and promoting sustainability conditions in various sectors of industries. Digital tools such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and interactive simulations improve learning efficiency, engagement, and risk awareness. By integrating the technologies, companies can better prepare employees for hazardous situations, reduce workplace accidents, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Fire courses on fire prevention and control are an essential element in health and safety trainings, and a crucial aspect of safety management. In any business, employees should be prepared for emergency situations, including fires by using modern tools like artificial intelligence. This article aimed to assess the implementation of modern technologies in Polish occupational health and safety training across various industrial sectors. Additionally, this research considered variations in training program development based on company size and financial capacity, highlighting the importance of integrating training, education, and innovative technologies into the company’s overall development strategy. The relationships between safety training programs, education, and innovation in 597 industrial companies were evaluated. The research findings suggest that integrating innovative technologies into training can improve working conditions in a more sustainable way and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.
