The gradual shift of work from relatively dangerous production which dominated in the 20th century, in this century has been dominated by digitalization and robotization which undoubtedly has improved the working environment and the safety of the working environment as a whole, as well as reduced the number of occupational diseases and accidents. However, recently there are new trends that affect the occupational health of employees. The aim of this article is to clarify what changes in the structure of the risks to the working environment have happened in recent years and what is their impact on employees. Occupational hazards are usually measured by the number of accidents or occupational diseases within one year. Statistics on occupational diseases in recent years show that most newly confirmed occupational diseases are nerve system diseases, such as burn-out syndrome, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, etc. This could indicate that physical load is no longer predominant as the structure of work is changed and more attention should now be paid to psycho-emotional risk factors
