Abstract
This article explores workplace safety dynamics amid demographic shifts, highlighting
the increase in aged workers. It addresses their unique safety challenges, particularly with

and technological adaptation. Findings show aged workers' experience reduces risks
but highlights challenges with new technologies and complacency. It suggests tailored
training, ergonomic adjustments, and health strategies to support the ageing workforce.
