Hidden Hazards: Integrating Psychosocial Risks Into Your Safety Framework


About this Webinar
Psychosocial risks like burnout, low role clarity, and poor support, are easy to overlook, but their impact on your people and organisation is anything but invisible. In this Lunch ‘n’ Learn, we unpacked what these hidden risks really look like in real workplaces, why they matter, and how they can be addressed with the same rigour as physical hazards. We also showed our new Psychosocial Risks module, a practical tool designed to help safety teams deal with these risks with structure and consistency, without overcomplicating existing workflows.
On the Menu
- Psychosocial risks 101: for a starter, we covered the fundamentals. We discussed what psychosocial risks are, the most common types, and shared real-world examples that bring them to life, along with practical controls.
- Making Sense of the Risk: we explored the factors that contribute to psychosocial risks and how to score them in context, so you can identify if they’re systemic or localised, and where to focus your controls.
- Mitigation in Practice: we discussed proactive strategies to help reduce risk. From surveying your teams to spotting trends early, we looked at practical steps for reviewing what’s driving harm.
- Support it in Action: see our new Psychosocial Risks module in action. Designed for safety teams, it helps embed psychosocial hazards into your risk management framework with consistent workflows, better visibility, and timely responses to sensitive issues.
