Mental Health Risk Register

Under work health and safety law, businesses are required to take proactive steps to manage risks to psychological health in their business.  This forms part of the primary duty of care to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers and others.

The Risk Register is designed to help businesses conduct a psychosocial risk assessment.

 It addresses each part of the psychosocial risk management process. The accompanying instructions also include an “assessment scale” to help you form a view about the seriousness of each risk by reference to the severity, duration and frequency of exposure to the hazard.
