Psychosocial risks can be just as harmful as physical hazards—sometimes even more so. Issues like unclear roles, poor workload management, bullying, and isolation can lead to anxiety, burnout, and long-term mental health issues. If ignored, they can damage your team’s wellbeing and your business’s reputation.
How to Conduct a Psychosocial Hazard and Risk Assessment gives managers, team leaders, and WHS officers the skills to identify, assess, and control mental health risks in the workplace. This training helps you build a strong foundation for your mental health safety program and supports a safer, more resilient team.
You will learn how to spot early warning signs, gather feedback from staff, and assess psychosocial hazards in everyday tasks, systems, and leadership behaviours. In addition, you will discover how to use this information to reduce risk and meet your legal obligations.
The course aligns with Australian WHS laws and the Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work. It is suitable for businesses of any size or industry.
