Install safety or support equipment.

Install safety or support equipment. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 4 occupations and seen in 6 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Build structures. in Handling and Moving Objects .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 6 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 0 (0%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Force bolts into holes, using hydraulic mechanisms of self-propelled bolting machines. · Roof Bolters, Mining · importance 4.9 · no direct exposure
• Perform ventilation tasks, such as hanging ventilation curtains and tubes. · Roof Bolters, Mining · importance 4.9 · no direct exposure
• Rotate chucks to turn bolts and open expansion heads against rock formations. · Roof Bolters, Mining · importance 4.7 · no direct exposure
• Install casings to prevent cave-ins. · Continuous Mining Machine Operators · importance 4.4 · no direct exposure
• Install rough door and window frames, subflooring, fixtures, or temporary supports in structures undergoing construction or repair. · Carpenters · importance 3.5 · no direct exposure
• Install safety devices on machinery or direct device installation. · Health and Safety Engineers, Except Mining Safety Engineers and Inspectors · no direct exposure
