What To Do Next
Occupational health and safety professional has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
- Credential or licensing barriers could make switching harder than the adjacent-role list suggests.
