Psychosocial risk registers are now a critical component of a compliant work health and safety system. Regulators expect organisations to demonstrate that psychosocial hazards have been systematically identified, assessed, controlled and reviewed, not simply acknowledged.

This one-day Psychosocial Risk Register course is a practical, applied program designed to support organisations and practitioners to develop, review or strengthen their psychosocial risk register in line with WHS legislation and regulatory guidance.

This workshop focuses on doing the work. Participants will learn how to translate psychosocial risk concepts into structured, defensible documentation that integrates with existing WHS and risk management systems.

This course is suitable for participants who already understand psychosocial risk fundamentals or who have completed Day 1 – Psychosocial Risk Leadership.
