Psychosocial hazards are now firmly part of workplace health and safety, and every employer has a responsibility to understand and manage the risks they may create.

This practical one-hour workshop will help small business owners and managers better understand psychosocial hazards, how they can affect people and workplaces, and the steps businesses can take to manage these risks.

You’ll learn about:

• what psychosocial hazards are and how they can affect your people and your business

• key responsibilities of employers and managers under work health and safety legislation

• common hazards such as high workloads, poor workplace relationships, conflict, bullying and inappropriate behaviour

• practical approaches to identifying, assessing and managing psychosocial risks

• steps you can take to create a safer, healthier and more respectful workplace.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of psychosocial risk and practical actions you can apply in your own workplace.

Presented by Lucie Wallis, an experienced HR practitioner and facilitator. Lucie helps business owners and managers navigate the people challenges of running a workplace and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach, making complex HR and workplace issues easier to understand and apply.

Attendance is complimentary and provided by Total HRM as part of 2026 NSW Small Business Month.
