Most organisations don’t have a full picture. Our free checklist walks you through workload, surveillance, consultation, job security, human oversight and automation bias, the six areas where AI most often creates risk.

Accountability for how AI affects workers sits with the employer, not the technology provider. Officer due diligence extends to the risks AI introduces into work design.

Psychosocial hazards are now a compliance obligation. AI can create them through work intensification, monitoring, reduced control and role ambiguity. If you haven’t assessed it, you haven’t managed it.

AI is reshaping how work is designed, allocated and monitored. Most employers have assessed the technology risks. Far fewer have assessed the impact on their people. Workload, surveillance, autonomy and job security are all WHS issues.

The AI @Work - Safety & Wellbeing Risk Checklist helps you assess where AI is being used, how it is changing work, and whether psychosocial risks are being managed. Built by Australian Industry Group’s WHS consultants.
