The Psychosocial Series
This year’s focus is on preventing the psychosocial hazard of workplace bullying.
We have developed a more in-depth series which explains how to apply those legal principles to the psychosocial hazard of workplace bullying.
As well as writing some guides to explain these concepts, we have also developed a series of webinars and a podcast where we interview subject matter experts who can provide some simple and practical measures into your business systems, making it easier for you to comply.
It’s confusing enough to understand what the word ‘psychosocial’ actually means, let alone know how to manage the workplace risks which it describes.
This guide explains what the WHS laws prescribe in terms of managing psychosocial hazards and risks, and the types of harm that can result if a PCBU’s psychosocial risks aren’t managed effectively.
The WHS Laws
Backed by current research, this guide describes three of the most popular models that explain how workplace features can impact a person's mental health, both positively and negatively.
The Risks
This guide focuses on control measures for psychosocial hazards based on the biopsychosocial model. It focuses on workplace behaviours including those at an organisational level.
