Creating Mentally Healthy Workplaces
Understanding the new psychosocial safety laws for Victorian employers
Half-day workshop for East Gippsland employers
Wednesday, 1st April | Quest Bairnsdale @ 9.00am
About the Workshop
Victoria’s new psychological health regulations are here - and many employers are unsure what they actually need to do.
This practical workshop will help you understand your new OHS responsibilities and take actionable, defensible steps to safeguard both your people and your business from harm.
And whilst it may feel like just another thing on an already overflowing plate, failure to manage these risks can lead to significant penalties under workplace safety laws.
Why This Matters
Psychosocial hazards can cause serious harm and result in mental injuries such as psychological distress, anxiety and PTSD.
They can also hurt your business in terms of productivity, absenteeism, turnover and morale, and lead to increased legal exposure.
In Victoria, workers compensation claims for mental injury have doubled in the past ten years, resulting in new workplace health and safety laws designed to protect workers from hazards that can impact their mental health, not just physical health.
