What Are Psychosocial Hazards?
Psychosocial hazards are factors in the workplace that increase the risk of work-related stress. They stem from aspects of how work is designed, managed, and supported — and if not properly addressed, they can harm an employee’s mental health and overall wellbeing.
Why This Matters
According to SafeWork Australia, psychosocial hazards are a major contributor to workplace stress. While stress on its own isn’t considered an injury, if it’s intense or prolonged, it can lead to serious psychological and physical harm.
Potential psychological impacts include:
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
-
Sleep disturbances
Potential physical impacts include:
-
Musculoskeletal problems
-
Chronic health conditions
-
Fatigue-related injuries

Our Process

Audit and Profiling
Our audit and gap analysis follow ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 standards. It includes a detailed review of existing documentation, workplace observations, and employee interviews.
The profiling phase examines key organisational data such as:
-
Incident and hazard reports
-
Grievances and employee feedback
-
Job descriptions
-
EAP usage trends
-
Staff satisfaction surveys
We also conduct interviews with a representative mix of employees from different levels across the organisation to capture a well-rounded perspective.

Following the review, we deliver a comprehensive report with clear findings, practical recommendations, and a debrief session to guide next steps and support continuous improvement.
