Psychosocial Hazards for Leaders (AU)

Course overview

From 2019 to 2023, there has been a 46% increase in mental health claims. Psychosocial hazards are factors in the workplace that can cause stress. Prolonged and severe stress leads to psychological or physical harm. Recognise psychosocial hazards in the workplace to prevent harm and build a safe and healthy work environment. Effective psychosocial hazard processes reduce your risk of penalties, mental health claims and increasing insurance premiums. This course builds your understanding of psychosocial hazard legislation, your duties as a leader and how they can be done efficiently. We created this course in partnership with Skodel, an organisation that helps workplaces meet psychosocial compliance in a simple and affordable way. {Last Updated: July 2024)
