Turn Risk Insights Into Practical Controls

Identifying psychosocial risk is only the starting point. Organisations also need to decide what requires attention, choose suitable controls, assign ownership and determine whether risk is being reduced.

FlourishDx helps teams move from assessment findings to practical prevention through control design, worker consultation, implementation, monitoring and review.

Design Controls That Target the Source of Risk

Starting with priority hazards and affected groups, FlourishDx helps organisations design controls that address how work is organised, managed and supported—not just activities that support individuals after harm occurs.

  • Control options linked to specific hazards and risk drivers
  • Focus on work design, systems, leadership, communication and resourcing
  • Application of the hierarchy of controls where relevant
  • Recommendations matched to your context and existing systems
Control Review & Design

Strengthen the Controls That Reduce Psychosocial Risk

FlourishDx consultants review your current controls, identify gaps and help design practical improvements linked to priority psychosocial hazards. 
  • Map existing controls to priority hazards
  • Identify gaps, duplication and controls that may not be working
  • Develop improvements focused on work design and systems
  • Create a clear action plan with owners and review points

Make Action Clear, Owned, 
and Accountable

Controls often stall when ownership and follow-through are unclear. We help organisations define who is responsible, what needs to happen and how progress will be reviewed across WHS, HR and operational teams.

  • Clear action owners and responsibilities
  • Practical implementation steps and due dates
  • Alignment between WHS, HR, and business leaders
  • Governance visibility for leaders and decision-makers

Monitor Progress Between Assessments

Controls need ongoing oversight after they are introduced. FlourishDx helps teams track implementation, identify delays or gaps, and see where additional support or escalation is needed between formal assessments.

  • Progress tracking for control implementation and related actions
  • Visibility of status, overdue items and priority areas
  • Links between controls, actions, hazards, groups and assessment findings
  • Reporting for WHS, HR and organisational leaders

Review Whether Controls Are Working

Controls need to be reviewed as work changes. We help organisations assess whether they remain relevant, are being implemented as intended and are reducing exposure.

  • Scheduled control reviews and follow-up prompts
  • Review of risk trends, worker feedback, and implementation progress
  • Log evidence of what has changed and what still needs attention
  • Consultant recommendations to refine or strengthen controls
  • Continuous improvement aligned to WHS risk management principles

FAQs

Still Have Questions?

Find answers about selecting suitable controls, assigning ownership, monitoring implementation and reviewing effectiveness.

A psychosocial risk control is a measure used to eliminate or minimise exposure to hazards arising from work design, management or the social environment. Effective controls generally address the source of risk rather than relying only on individual wellbeing or coping initiatives.
