Preventing Psychosocial Risk in the Workplace
Creating a safe and healthy workplace has never been more important with proposed and future amendments to WH&S legislation requiring organisations to manage their psychosocial risks.
Specialised Assessments
What is psychosocial safety?
Our psychosocial risk assessment is a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating mental health risks in the workplace. By recognising potential hazards, evaluating their impact, implementing control measures, and continuously reviewing their effectiveness, we help organisations create safer, healthier environments.
This comprehensive process not only ensures compliance with legal requirements but also fosters a supportive and positive workplace culture.
But what are the 14 psychosocial risks:
- Low job control,
- High or low job demands,
- Poor support,
- Poor change management,
- Organisational Justice,
- Low recognition and reward,
- Low role clarity,
- Poor workplace relationships,
- Poor environmental conditions,
- Remote and isolated work,
- Exposure to traumatic content or events,
- Violence and aggression,
- Bullying,
- Sexual harassment.
