WHS & Psychosocial Risk Training

Practical WHS and psychosocial risk training aligned with Australian WHS obligations

Training is a core control in WHS risk management. Organisations must ensure workers, supervisors and managers have the information, training and instruction necessary to work safely, including understanding and managing psychosocial hazards.

Work Well Risk Management delivers practical training tailored to your workplace, industry and risk profile.

Who This Training Is For

Our training is suitable for:

Business owners and company directors

Managers and supervisors

WHS and HR professionals

Workers and team members

Content and depth are adjusted to suit the level of responsibility and operational context of each group.

What Our Training Covers

Psychosocial Risk Training Management

Psychosocial risk training management focuses on how work is designed and managed, not individual personality or resilience.

Topics may include:

What psychosocial hazards are and how they arise from work

Common hazards such as workload, role clarity, organisational change and workplace behaviour

WHS duties and consultation requirements

Early identification of risk indicators

Appropriate and proportionate responses

Practical scenarios relevant to your workplace

Participants leave with a clearer understanding of obligations and realistic steps they can take within their role.

WHS and compliance-focused training may include:

WHS duties and responsibilities under Australian legislation

Identifying hazards and assessing risk

Applying reasonably practicable controls

Incident reporting and response processes

Leadership responsibilities and due diligence

Sessions are grounded in real operational examples rather than generic theory

Important to Understand

Training builds capability and shared understanding. It strengthens how your organisation identifies and responds to risk.

However, training does not replace formal risk assessment, implementation of controls or ongoing monitoring and review.

Legislative Changes Require Your Action.

Booking this training equips your business with practical strategies to manage psychosocial risks and ensure compliance with the latest workplace safety legislation.

Mental illness is now the leading cause of sickness absence and long-termwork incapacity in Australia. More workers are absent due to stress and anxiety than flu and other physical illnesses or injuries. Mental illness is also associated with high levels of presenteeism.

In Australia alone, poor mental health at work is estimated to cost the economy billions. With this in mind, it makes perfect sense to address mental health and wellbeing in each and every workplace. (Blackdog Institute)

I am writing to thank and congratulate you on the excellent training session you delivered for our team on psychosocial safety in the workplace. The feedback from both staff and Board members who attended was overwhelmingly positive!

Staff were particularly grateful for the opportunity to apply their learning in small groups, discussing the various psychosocial hazards they have encountered at Endeavour, along with existing strategies to manage those hazards and new ideas to increase safety. Apart from the important awareness-raising that occurred from these activities, we have been able to continue this work since the workshop by collating the team’s responses, identifying our priorities (as a team) and working on collective strategies to address some of those hazards. This process has helped to embed an understanding within the team that we are all responsible, both individually and collectively, for creating and maintaining a safe workplace.
