Psychosocial Hazards and AI Adoption

 You configured the system. Who redesigned the job?

90-minute online masterclass. Tuesday 20 October 2026, 11:00am–12:30pm AEDT. $108 inc GST.

When an AI tool goes into a team, the procurement decision gets made, the system gets configured, and the rollout gets announced. What doesn't get done is the job redesign. The person doing the work now does it differently — less control over how, less clarity over what's still theirs — and nobody wrote that down as a risk.

That gap has a name under WHS regulations. Job control, job demands, role clarity, and organisational justice are all named psychosocial hazards, and an AI rollout that changes how work gets done without reassessing those factors creates exposure. It arrives as a procurement decision. The obligation doesn't care how it arrived.

Officers have due diligence duties that apply here. HR and WHS managers are expected to have assessed this before the tool lands, and most haven't — because nobody framed it as a safety question until recently, and the vendor certainly didn't.

What you'll take away

  • How to identify which psychosocial hazards an AI rollout creates or worsens, before it goes live.
  • What officers' due diligence obligations look like when the hazard source is a software procurement decision.
  • A practical method for assessing job redesign consequences and documenting what you found.
  • What to do when the rollout has already happened and the assessment hasn't.

Who this is for
HR leaders, WHS managers, and executives or directors in Australian and New Zealand organisations who are rolling out AI tools and have not yet assessed the work-design consequences. If your organisation has purchased an AI system and the job impact analysis wasn't part of the process, this session is for you.

What you'll take away

  • What you'll take away from this 90-minute session:

    • How to identify which psychosocial hazards — job control, job demands, role clarity, organisational justice — are created or worsened when an AI tool goes into a role, so you can name them in a risk register on Monday.

    • Where to look in a job to find where control has been removed: the specific points in a workflow where a person used to make a decision and now the system does it for them.

    • What officers' due diligence obligations require when the hazard arrives as a procurement or IT decision, and how to document that you assessed it before deployment.

    • A practical pre-deployment assessment approach you can apply to an AI rollout that is already planned or already underway in your organisation.
