Overview
Psychosocial hazards have always existed in the workplace, but it is only recently that businesses and law firms have started to pay close attention to these risks.
Recent legislative changes have brought psychosocial hazards to the forefront of an employer’s duty of care. These changes, combined with a growing awareness of the negative impacts of inadequately managed psychosocial hazards, have prompted health and safety regulators to build their capacity to respond to complaints and reports of psychologically unsafe workplaces. Consequently, effectively managing psychosocial hazards is no longer simply a question of organisational wellbeing, it is a requirement for legal compliance.
This course equips lawyers to understand the key psychosocial hazards relevant to Australian workplaces, and how to properly identify, assess and control psychosocial risks in the workplace. It also covers the legal obligations of employers to eliminate or reduce psychosocial hazards, the risks of failing to address these hazards, and practical measures for controlling or eliminating these hazards.
