Listen "Inside Safety (Australia) EP1: Psychosocial health and safety"
Episode Synopsis
In the first episode of the podcast, hosted by Steve Bell and Nerida Jessup, we focus on a contemporary issue for Australian workplaces - psychosocial health and safety. Traditionally centred on physical risks, there has been a significant shift over the past five years towards managing non-physical risks such as bullying and sexual harassment. This now includes considerations on how work is performed, allocated, and designed to help employees thrive.
This episode highlights the increased regulation and enforcement in this area more recently, emphasising the need for developing risk registers to identify psychosocial risks and implementing consistent controls. It also notes the growing expectation for HR and people and culture teams to adopt the language of work health and safety and risk management, offering practical tips on how to effectively manage these changes.
