      abstract = {The integration of advanced technologies into Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) within facility management is reshaping traditional approaches to workplace safety. This article evaluates the economic and social impacts of technological adoption in OHS, focusing on tools like AI-driven systems, IoT sensors, and predictive analytics. These innovations address persistent challenges such as workplace hazards and operational inefficiencies, offering substantial cost savings, enhanced productivity, and improved worker well-being. Through a comprehensive review of literature, case studies, and industry data, the study emphasizes the dual benefits of these technologies, reducing accident-related costs and ensuring a culture of safety that improves job satisfaction and mental health. The analysis provides unique features and competitive advantages of OHS while recommending policy interventions and industry strategies to support widespread adoption. Future trends, including advancements in AI, augmented reality, and blockchain, promise to further transform OHS practices. The article concludes with actionable recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and OHS professionals to invest in technology, advocating for a future where safety, efficiency, and economic growth are seamlessly integrated.},
