Psychosocial Risk and Respect at Work
Psychosocial Hazards and Mental Health at Work
Psychosocial risk is a legal duty now, not a wellbeing programme. This course explains what the psychosocial regulations ask of an employer in each state and territory, Victoria included, and gives your people the language to name a hazard before it becomes a claim.
What You Will Learn
- Explain how the 2022 model WHS Regulations amendments made psychosocial risk management an explicit legal duty
- Identify the fourteen common psychosocial hazards described in Safe Work Australia guidance and the model Code of Practice
- Apply the four-step risk management process to psychosocial hazards, prioritising work design over individual resilience
- Describe the positive duty under the Sex Discrimination Act to prevent sexual harassment and related conduct
- Build a speak-up culture and connect workers to support pathways such as EAPs and structured check-in conversations
Course Content
Final Assessment: 10 questions, 80% pass mark, retakes available
Who This Course Is For
Managers, team leaders, HR professionals, WHS practitioners and officers who need to understand and act on psychosocial risk management duties.
