Collated tools, resources and education materials applicable for psychological and psychosocial risk management and mitigation for workers in the Australian Energy Production Industry.
Sharing
Psychological safety and Psychosocial hazards and associated risks are an increasing focus of attention when it comes to health and safety in our industry. Safer Together has built this Psychological and Psychosocial Safety Resources Portal where best practice can be shared. Members can access a range of tools and materials developed by industry, and share their own via an online submission.
Our aim is to ensure that all workplaces are Psychologically Safe working environments where everyone believes that they will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes, and that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking.
We also want to ensure that psychosocial hazards, which may cause physchological or physical harm, are identified and eliminated or mitigated as far as possible. Psychosocial Hazards may cause psychological or physical harm, and arise from (or in relation to):
- The design or management of work
- The working environment
- Plant at a workplace, or
- Workplace interactions or behaviours
Our Health Working Group has created a Psychological and Psychosocial Safety Resources - Jargon Buster document for use by our members to clarify terminology and hazard risk definitions.
Our Health Working Group has collated these materials to better enable member companies to access & share resources.
