What is a psychosocial hazard and why should businesses focus on managing them?
A psychosocial hazard is anything that may harm someone’s mental health.
Australian WHS laws require a business or organisation to eliminate or manage the risk of psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
The benefits of eliminating or minimising psychosocial hazards extend beyond compliance. Ensuring the well-being of employees reduces absenteeism, enhances productivity, and supports the attraction and retention of employees. A mentally healthy workplace is fundamental to business success.
Training to manage psychosocial hazards in the workplace
Forsythes Training runs the 2 day Resilience First Aid workshop and the 2 day Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) workshop. Its workplace mental health accredited trainers have also developed new mental health training workshops. These workshops give participants skills in identifying and managing psychosocial risks as part of developing and maintaining a mentally healthy workplace.
