Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work Policy

Product Overview

This editable Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work Policy establishes a practical governance and risk-management framework for preventing psychological and physical harm arising from work.

It addresses work design, consultation, reporting, response, privacy, support, control implementation and review. The policy is designed to work alongside a psychosocial risk assessment, reporting forms, control reviews and an organisation's existing employee wellbeing or mental health procedure.

What the Policy Covers

• Psychosocial hazards arising from work design, management, workplace interactions and the work environment
• Officer, manager, worker, contractor and HSR responsibilities
• Hazard identification, risk assessment and higher-order controls
• Worker consultation and accessible reporting pathways
• Response to reports, incidents and harmful behaviour
• Privacy, fair process and protection from victimisation
• Workplace support and reasonable adjustments
• Monitoring, mandatory review triggers and recordkeeping
