Risk Assessments
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. Beyond legal compliance, leader and employee participation in managing psychosocial risk is fundamental to a safety culture and should be a key focus area for an organisation’s people or wellbeing strategy.
A risk assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the potential psychosocial risks that may be involved in an activity. There are generally four major components to address when conducting a risk assessment:
- Identify hazards
- Assess Risks
- Control Risks
- Review Control Measure
Psychosocial risks are factors, conditions and experiences at work that may cause harm to the mental health of workers.
- Low job control,
- High 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.
