This principle builds on the ambition to place safety at the core of our thinking about developing and deploying technology.

In a world where global safety needs are rapidly evolving, this principle ensures that companies and stakeholders take steps to identify and respond to new risks associated with novel technologies and their applications.

Particular attention should be paid to new sources of psychosocial risks that could affect the mental wellbeing of workers.

Organisations should prioritise a human-centric approach when integrating new technologies into industrial environments. This includes aligning with evolving guidelines, regulations and frameworks for responsible AI design, development and deployment.

To ensure that new risks are internalised, steps need to be taken to consider emerging cyber, physical and psychosocial risks for company policies, procedures and processes – including job instruction sheets and other day-to-day guidelines.
