Course overview

With increasing legislative and regulatory focus on the psychological safety of workers while at work, now is the time for employers to review their existing hazard identification and risk management frameworks, and to determine whether they are taking all reasonably practicable steps to ensure they are providing a safe working environment.

Psychosocial hazards are those which could cause psychological harm to employees and include things like a poor physical environment, inadequate support, job demands and stress, bullying and harassment, as well as sexual harassment. Ensuring the psychological health and safety of workers is your responsibility as an employer and if a risk management system for psychosocial hazards is not proactively implemented you may be exposing your business to criminal liability.

However, management of these hazards presents unique challenges for employers, and traditional approaches to risk management are likely to fall short of the standards now expected by regulators.

This dynamic training course will bring you up to speed on how to:

  • understand your legal obligations, and the sources of those obligations,
  • identify psychosocial and other hazards in the workplace,
  • assess the risks which arise from those hazards, including risks to psychological health and wellbeing,
  • identify and implement control measures,
  • maintain and review the suitability of existing control measures, and
  • engage in effective consultation with your workforce.

Join our legal expert for this online training event and gain the skills required to minimise your liability when it comes to psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
