Does your WHS management plan cover the management of psychosocial hazards?

Members are reminded of their obligations to manage the risks to health and safety in the workplace, including managing psychosocial risks. The ACT Code of Practice in Managing Psychosocial Hazards commenced on 27 November 2023.

MBA has been made aware that WorkSafe ACT has been conducting random inspections on PCBUs’ WHS management plans to ensure PCBUs are complying with their duties to manage psychosocial risks at their workplaces. Members are highly encouraged to risk assess their workplaces for psychosocial hazards and include them in their WHS management plans if they have not done so.

If you have any questions about managing psychosocial risks, please contact our Workplace Relations and Legal Team on (02) 6175 5900.
