Psychosocial Hazards: Always Here, Finally Heard

You’ve likely seen it everywhere lately. LinkedIn, webinars, workshops, or perhaps in WHS legislation. Psychosocial risk management is a hot topic. As workplaces evolve, so too do the challenges we face. Psychosocial hazards, often overshadowed by physical risks, are now recognised as essential to holistic workplace safety.

But is it really new, or are we just finally paying closer attention?

In this workshop, we’ll cut through common misconceptions, explore how our understanding of workplace risk is evolving, and examine the critical role of safety leadership and workplace culture in managing these often-hidden hazards effectively.

• Why has the spotlight shifted?
• What roles do workplace culture and leadership play?
• What does it mean to go beyond the letter of the law to meet the spirit of the law?

Join us for this thought-provoking session, led by Ricky Galloway, to unpack the reality of psychosocial hazards those unseen aspects of our work environment that profoundly impact mental and physical wellbeing.

What we’ll cover:

• Defining workplace hazards;
• Psychological vs psychosocial safety;
• The shift in focus;
• A WorkSafe prosecution; and
• The role of safety leadership and organisational culture.

Learning outcomes:

• A deeper understanding of psychosocial risks.
• Unpack the shift in focus.
• The role of safety leadership in psychosocial risk management.
• The role of healthy culture in psychosocial risk management.

Please note while all are welcome to this session, we are based in Australia and will reference Australian legislation.
