About this Event
Psychological health and safety is the application of the risk management framework to understanding and preventing injuries arising from exposure to psychosocial hazards at work.
The World Health Organisation, International Labour Organization, Health and Safety Executive (UK), and National Mental Health Commission (Australia) amongst other organisations, all promote the need to incorporate psychosocial risk management as a fundamental part of a holistic workplace mental health strategy.
This practical, half-day masterclass will cover the BASICS of psychological health and safety including:
- What is psychological health and safety? (and how is this different to ‘psychological safety’)
- What is a psychosocial hazard?
- How do psychosocial hazards cause harm?
- The level of harm caused by psychosocial hazards
- What is a psychosocial risk assessment?
- How to apply risk management principles to prevent harm from psychosocial hazards
- How to apply the hierarchy of controls to address hazards at organisational and team levels
- How to continuously monitor and improve psychosocial risk controls
Participants will learn by hearing about relevant examples from the experienced facilitators and workshopping examples with groups of peers.
Join us at the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney for a rare in-person event hosted by the leaders in psychological health and safety. Morning tea is provided.
