Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
compiles statistics on accidents and injuries, analyses their causes and makes recommendations to management accordingly
AI tools like Power BI Copilot or specialist EHS platforms (e.g., Intelex) can automatically compile accident statistics, identify patterns, generate root cause analyses, and produce management reports with minimal human input.
helps to develop effective health and safety policies and procedures and carries out risk assessments
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can draft policy templates, suggest risk assessment frameworks, and cross-reference legislation, but a human must validate these against site-specific conditions and legal requirements.
gives talks and distributes information on accident prevention and keeps up to date with the relevant legislation
ChatGPT or Copilot can help draft presentations, summarise legislative updates, and create informational materials, while AI monitoring tools can track regulatory changes, though the human must interpret and communicate these effectively.
inspects workplace areas to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation
AI cannot physically walk through a workplace, but tools like computer vision systems (e.g., Intenseye) can assist by flagging hazards via CCTV footage, though a human must still conduct the actual inspection.
instructs workers in the proper use of protective clothing and safety devices and conducts routine tests on that equipment
Physical instruction and hands-on equipment testing require human presence and dexterity, though AI could generate training materials or checklists to support the process.
maintains contact with those off work due to illness
Maintaining meaningful contact with absent employees requires human empathy and relationship management, though AI could help schedule follow-ups or draft supportive communications.
counsels individuals on any personal or domestic problems affecting their work
Counselling individuals on personal or domestic problems is deeply interpersonal and requires emotional intelligence, trust, and professional judgement that AI cannot replicate.

This is not a pay rise — it's 462.9 hours of productive capacity that AI could return to you, valued at your current rate.
The portion of your current salary tied to tasks AI can automate or augment. Not a prediction of job loss — a signal of where your role is changing fastest.
How is this calculated?▾
Task weights — each task is weighted by its O*NET frequency rating. Where frequency data is absent, equal weighting is applied.
AI time reduction — tasks scored as "AI Automates" assume 80% time saving; "AI Assists" assumes 40%; "Human-Led" assumes 5%.
Salary equivalent — annual hours saved × (salary ÷ 1,800 working hours/year).
Value at risk — salary × share of role time in AI-automate or AI-assist tasks.
Figures are indicative estimates for planning purposes, not guarantees of productivity gain or job loss risk.
