About the course

New and proposed changes to Australian state WHS laws mean that employers should look to become more proactive in managing psychosocial hazards in the workplace

Under existing WHS laws, employers have a duty of care to ensure the physical and mental health and safety of their employees. Recent changes to Model WHS regulations, NSW WHS laws, and proposed Victorian WHS amendments impose obligations on employers to manage and guard against psychosocial hazards in the workplace.

As psychological health and safety in the workplace becomes an important consideration for businesses large and small, our Psychological Health and Safety at Work training course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of ISO 45003. 

ISO 45003:2021 is a child standard of ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems; where ISO 45001 focuses overall management of health and safety risks across an organisation, ISO 45003 focuses on psychological health and safety of staff within the workplace to and provides guidelines for managing the broad range of psychological health and safety risks within the OH&S management system.

This 2-day, virtually delivered course provides a practical understanding of ISO 45003:2021 – Psychological health and safety at work — Guidelines for managing psychosocial risk and gives you the tools you need to implement it within your workplace. You’ll hear from a leading psychologist and benefit from their experience across a range of industries and understand how ISO 45003 interacts with Australian WHS legislation and codes of practice. Gain insights into the principles of psychological health and safety risk, workplace risk factors, and planning to address risks and opportunities, and more.

Plus, you receive a complimentary licensed copy of:

  • ISO 45003:2021 – Psychological health and safety at work — Guidelines for managing psychosocial risk

“The virtual classroom coupled with an enthusiastic trainer made the course easy to run through and as good as any face to face courses I have ever attended.”

It was evident that the trainer had significant industry related experience in auditing. They were able to reinforce learnings and keep us interested by integrating their experiences into the course with relevant and engaging real world examples.

Course was enjoyable and I like the fact that we’re given a copy of the each of the Standards!

Honestly thought it was gonna be boring. I was very wrong! Very engaging and informative. Loved all 5 days and will be back for more courses!

Really enjoyed the training. What could be a very stale topic was delivered in a very engaging and detailed way. I particularly enjoyed the conversational delivery of the content and the practical activities were challenging and well presented. The catering was great too.
