Abstract

This report describes data privacy and ethics issues in occupational health and screening systems, the challenges and solutions concerning the protection of sensitive employee health information. And as digital health records and workplace monitoring systems grow more widely used, there is an increasing need to guarantee HIPAA and GDPR compliance. The paper examines the role of informed consent, data access control and the ethical implications, specifically in regards to its inclusion of AI and ML integration. The paper highlights the requirements for preparing for the protection of employee's privacy with robust frameworks for efficient health monitoring while ensuring employee trust inside and outside the workplace.
