Why This Course Matters
Managing psychological safety is as vital as physical safety
While many organisations have robust measures in place to protect physical health — such as policies for manual handling, slips, trips, and fire safety — psychological health often receives less structured attention. Psychosocial hazards can harm both employee wellbeing and organisational performance if left unaddressed.
This course reframes mental health in the workplace as an organisation-wide responsibility, not just an individual concern. It provides managers with the knowledge to recognise, assess, and reduce psychosocial risks, ensuring compliance with legal obligations and alignment with best practice frameworks.
About the Course
In this concise yet impactful course, managers learn how to integrate psychosocial hazard prevention into everyday business operations. By the end, you’ll be able to identify non-physical risks, apply the relevant legislation, and promote a safe and supportive working environment for all staff.
