Psychosocial Risk Management

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY

Address psychosocial hazards in the way work is designed and managed

ABILITY GROUP helps employers examine psychosocial risks at work and plan practical controls. We focus on the work, the organisational setting and the actions leaders can take, with a scope suited to your workplace.

Discuss psychosocial risk

Concerns may emerge through consultation, incidents, complaints, absence or claims. A considered approach looks beyond one event to the conditions that may expose people to harm. Requirements and regulator guidance vary by jurisdiction, so we define the review around your locations and operations.

How we can support your team

Understand the hazards

Review relevant information and consultation to identify work-related factors that need attention.

Plan controls

Consider changes to work design, supervision, communication and processes that are practical for your organisation.

Strengthen follow-through

Clarify ownership, consultation and review so actions are monitored rather than left in a report.

A connected employer response

Psychosocial risk work can intersect with injury management and workers compensation. We can connect these service areas where relevant while respecting the roles of treating practitioners, insurers and other decision-makers. An organisational WHS review does not replace clinical care or an independent investigation of an individual complaint.

Questions employers ask

What are psychosocial hazards?

They are aspects of work, its environment or interactions that may create a risk of psychological or physical harm. The relevant hazards and controls depend on the work and context.

Can you help with a specific concern?

Yes. We can discuss the concern and whether a focused risk review, a broader program review or a different specialist response is appropriate.

Is an employee survey enough?

Survey information may help, but a useful assessment considers other evidence, consultation, the work itself and whether controls are effective.
