Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid advancement and integration of artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies into modern workplaces have transformed work environments and
processes, posing unique challenges to occupational health and safety
(OHS). This proposal invites submissions addressing cutting-edge OHS issues
emerging in the context of AI-driven work environments and suggesting
innovative solutions that promote worker well-being and safety.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - AI and automation's impact on physical and mental health in the
   workplace;
   - Novel methods and AI-driven tools for ergonomic risk assessment,
   hazard identification, and injury prevention in human–AI interactions;
   - Balancing worker autonomy and safety in AI-enhanced decision-making
   processes;
   - Ensuring privacy and ethical data management in AI-driven OHS
   applications;
   - Designing adaptive and inclusive AI-integrated work environments for
   diverse worker populations;
   - The role of AI in facilitating OHS training and education;
   - Regulatory frameworks and standards for OHS in the AI era;
   - Case studies demonstrating successful implementation of AI-driven OHS
   initiatives;
   - Data privacy and security concerns in AI-driven OHS systems;
   - Understanding the impact of human–AI interaction on OHS outcomes;
   - Ethical considerations in the deployment of AI technologies in OHS;
   - Regulatory compliance and standards for AI applications in workplace
   safety;
   - Training and education programs to enhance worker competencies in
   AI-led work environments;
   - Human-centric design principles for AI systems in OHS;
   - Case studies and empirical research on the implementation and
   evaluation of AI technologies in occupational health and safety.

This interdisciplinary call invites researchers from diverse fields,
including occupational health and safety, human factors, ergonomics,
computer science, engineering, psychology, and sociology, to contribute
their perspectives and insights on the future of AI in the workplace and
its implications for worker health and safety.

Submissions should present original research, critical reviews, case
studies, or innovative conceptual frameworks that significantly advance our
understanding of OHS challenges and opportunities in AI-driven work
environments. Authors are encouraged to consider both theoretical and
practical implications of their work and to offer recommendations for
future research and practice.
