Psychological Hazard Awareness Training

Psychosocial hazards are any psychological or social factors within the workplace that can potentially cause harm to employee health, safety and well-being. Common psychosocial hazards include (but are not limited to) job demands, poor support, poor organisational justice, low job control, bullying and intimidation, work-related violence and aggression, conflict in the workplace and traumatic events/material.

Impacts of exposure to psychosocial hazards can be serious for both individual employees and the organisation. Workplaces must, under WHS/OHS legislation, engage in the risk management process to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards. Awareness and training regarding these hazards is an important aspect of an employer’s legal responsibilities.

Learning Outcomes include:

• Identify and recognize common psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
• Understand the impact of psychosocial hazards on individual and organizational well-being.
• Develop strategies for managing and mitigating psychosocial risks.
• Learn effective communication and conflict resolution skills.
• Understand the importance of creating a positive and supportive workplace culture.
• Know their rights and responsibilities under Australian workplace health and safety legislation.
• Develop self-care strategies for managing stress and maintaining mental well-being.
