Overview
Organisations are currently facing one of the most difficult management challenges of recent times. A growing expectation of corporate social responsibility and recent changes to legislation requiring them to be proactive in eliminating psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
Psychosocial hazards at work are aspects of work and work situations which can lead to psychological or physical harm through stress and fatigue. Unlike other hazards, psychosocial hazards, as the name suggests, are prevalent in society and are not isolated to the workplace. If they are also supported by workplace culture, they become self-validating.
This workshop explores the application of the recent legislation in workplaces. It enables participants to identify psychosocial hazards in their workplace, assess the risk these hazards represent for their employees, develop control and mitigation strategies for the hazards and build a psychosocial risk management plans to proactively reduce the impacts of psychosocial hazards in their workplace.
