Prospects for Improving Labor and Labor Protection Legislation in the Implementation of Production Robotization

The paper is devoted to the study of the potential for using the results of the development of modern technologies, including automation and robotization tools, to improve the labor market and the need to adapt existing approaches to labor legal regulation, especially within the framework of labor protection. New technological achievements entail positive consequences in the form of increased production efficiency, a decreased number of injuries and occupational diseases at workplaces, the formation of a decent working environment, overall improvement in the quality of life and new risks primarily mediated by the period of adaptation to changing working conditions. The paper examines the processes of such changes and suggests possible approaches to legal regulation of the labor sphere in order to achieve optimal coordination of the processes of applying technological innovations in production and achieving a balance of rights and interests of labor market participants.
