Preventing psychological harm is an essential part of creating a healthy and safe workplace.
The model work health and safety (WHS) laws now include regulations on psychosocial hazards. A new model Code of Practice on Managing psychosocial hazards at work explains the laws and how to comply with them, including practical steps to manage workplace risks to psychological health.
Safe Work Australia Chief Executive Officer Michelle Baxter said that “under work health and safety laws, PCBUs have a positive duty to do everything they reasonably can to prevent exposure to psychosocial hazards and risks.
Oh a PCBU is a ‘person conducting a business or undertaking’
Since August 2022 employers have been a bit flat footed in trying to meet the new code of practice. Hence the proliferation of compulsory staff meetings and information sessions delivered by external providers. Various providers are providing their interpretations of how to fill in the psychosocial gap. Therefore, the content varies widely.
Kind regards
