CGW Interactive Webinar - WHS: practical training for Queensland businesses managing physical and psychosocial hazards in the workplace
Workplace health and safety - practical training for Queensland businesses managing physical and psychosocial hazards in the workplace
The nature of most workplaces has changed dramatically over the last few years as work has shifted online and out of the office. This poses a new set of challenges for employers, with a particular focus on mental health.
While organisations generally have a clear overview and plan to manage physical hazards in the workplace, most are underprepared or less confident in ensuring a psychologically safe work environment. How are risks and hazards identified and how can they be better managed from both a preventative and management standpoint?
Join special counsel Gemma Sharp as she takes you through the health and safety obligations your business has to workers, with a deep dive into the background of the recently released psychosocial safety requirements, and a look at tips and strategies for compliance.
The topics for discussion will include:
understanding your workplace health and safety obligations as an employer
duties of officers, workers and other persons
consultation and representation rights and requirements
consequences of unsafe work for companies and directors
understanding investigations, enforcement measures and prosecutions
an overview of current industrial manslaughter laws
limiting the risk of psychosocial hazards in your organisation
