Under Australian work health and safety law, psychosocial hazards must be managed like any other workplace risk. This course follows a project team at a fictional engineering firm as workloads rise, teams merge and a client becomes abusive.
Learners recognise common hazards and how they combine, understand the duties of employers and workers, tell bullying, harassment and conflict apart, and learn how to raise a concern. Managers and supervisors complete two extra units on workload, change, conflict and checking whether controls work.
