11 courses in Psychosocial Hazards
Fatigue and Shift Work
For anyone who works shifts or designs them. What actually causes fatigue, why it impairs people in ways they cannot detect in themselves, what it does to health over years and the roster and workload controls that reduce it. Includes the drive home, which is where a great deal of the harm happens.
HLTWHS006 Manage personal stressors in the work environment
Nationally recognised unit for people in high-stress and shift work roles. Identify your stressors and build a personal stress management plan.
Psychosocial Hazard Awareness
What psychosocial hazards actually are, how they cause harm, what they look like day to day and what to do when you notice one. Built on ISO 45003 and relevant wherever you work.
Psychosocial Hazards for Leaders
The companion to the awareness course, for the people who decide how work is designed and resourced. How to find psychosocial risk in data you already have, assess it without turning it into a question about individuals, choose controls that change the work rather than ask people to endure it and consult a workforce properly.
Responding to a Bullying Complaint
For managers and supervisors. What to do in the first ten minutes, why the duty starts the moment you know, how to protect someone without disadvantaging them, what procedural fairness actually requires and what to do when a complaint is not substantiated.
Section 29 for Councillors
Elected members are excluded from the officer duty under the WHS Act, but owe a duty under section 29 as other persons at the workplace. What that requires in chamber debate, constituent contact and public commentary.
Sexual Harassment and Bullying at Work
What sexual harassment, sex-based harassment and a hostile work environment actually are, how bullying differs and what the positive duty introduced by Respect@Work requires an organisation to do before anyone complains. Covers the routes available if it happens to you and what to do if someone tells you.
Supervising Young Workers
For supervisors, leading hands and anyone with a young or inexperienced worker in their crew. What the law requires, the age limits that are genuinely hard, why supervision is a weaker control than it looks on paper and what to do in the first days so that a young worker will tell you when something is wrong.
The Right to Disconnect
The Fair Work right to refuse work contact outside working hours. What the right covers, when refusing would be unreasonable, what it means for anyone who sends the message and why availability creep is a psychosocial hazard rather than a personality trait.
Workplace Bullying Awareness
The legal test for bullying at work, why reasonable management action is not bullying, how bullying differs from harassment and discrimination, and what to do if it is happening to you or you can see it happening to someone else.
Workplace Mental Health
For managers, team leaders, colleagues and HR. Recognise early signs of mental health concerns at work and respond with confidence.
