HSEQ SERVICE / WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Discuss your psychosocial risk
THE REQUIREMENT
A legal duty, not a wellbeing extra.
Under Western Australia’s Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022, PCBUs have a duty to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards using the same structured, documented approach required for any other workplace risk.
Excessive workload, poor role clarity, bullying, harassment, remote or isolated work, and exposure to traumatic events all require considered controls. An Employee Assistance Program or a policy sitting in a drawer is not enough on its own.
WHAT REGULATORS EXPECT
A real process to identify workplace-specific hazards, assess risk, apply controls using the hierarchy of controls, and review regularly.
WHAT EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE
01 / IDENTIFY
Identify the psychosocial hazards specific to your people, sites, teams and work patterns.
02 / ASSESS
Assess the risk through meaningful consultation with your workforce, not assumptions from a desk.
03 / CONTROL
Apply practical controls using the hierarchy of controls, shaped around how your business actually operates.
04 / REVIEW
Review the controls regularly and use evidence to confirm they are working in practice.
HOW SIG HELPS
Safety Innovation Group provides psychosocial risk assessments, workforce consultation, practical control design, and documentation that stands up if a regulator comes asking.
