Psychosocial Safety At Work (Australian Edition)

Australia has now developed the Psychosocial Safety Codes of Practice and managers everywhere are expected to apply these codes in their roles. This self-paced online course helps managers know what these codes are, how to apply them in practice, and how to identify and manage psychosocial hazards.

It's crucial for managers to fully grasp their responsibilities regarding psychosocial safety at work, to ensure they are meeting their legal obligations, creating a healthy and positive workplace culture, and ultimately, keeping their teams safe at work.

In this course, managers will learn:

• What exactly psychosocial safety is, and how to integrate it into Workplace Health & Safety practices.
• The manager’s role and responsibility in identifying and addressing psychosocial hazards and risks.
• What psychosocial hazards are, and how to identify and assess the risk
• How to apply a range of strategies to prevent and mitigate psychosocial hazards
• How to build a psychologically safe working environment, minimising risks to psychosocial safety.

This course is tailored for individuals responsible for maintaining the psychosocial safety of the workplace. It is particularly relevant for managers, leaders, people and culture teams, as well as WHS or HSE representatives.
