Best practice
Identify and understand psychosocial hazards in your workplace and take steps to address them before a psychological injury occurs.
If you have a worker returning to work after a psychological injury, understand and address the factors that may have contributed to their injury before they come back to work.
Why this is important
When you understand the risks to psychological health and safety in your workplace, you can put measures in place to control them and prevent future injuries.
It’s an employer’s responsibility to provide a safe and durable return to work for their injured workers, including putting measures in place to prevent the risk of reinjury.
Your toolkit
- People at work psychological risk assessment tool is Australia’s only validated and evidence-based psychosocial risk assessment tool.
The tool allows you to easily identify, assess and control risks to psychological health and safety in your workplace. You can use it:
- before an injury occurs to proactively put measures in place to prevent psychological injuries
- after an injury occurs to address the psychosocial hazards in the workplace to facilitate a safe return to work.
People at Work is a self-administered online survey to assess your workplace psychosocial hazards and factors. You’ll be provided with a comprehensive post-survey report that will compare your results against Australian benchmarks and give you practical guidance on ways to manage the psychosocial hazards in your workplace.
The People at Work website also provides detailed support materials and interactive learning modules that will support you to implement a psychosocial risk assessment process and evaluate the effectiveness of your chosen controls over time.
- Mentally health workplaces toolkit provides tools and resources that you can use to eliminate and minimise risks to psychological health and create workplace environments that are mentally healthy. It includes information on supporting recovery from injury.
