Psychosocial Safety Investigations Program

Build your knowledge and skills in investigating psychological health and safety hazards and incidents.

The Psychosocial Safety Investigations Program has been developed to assist people and safety professionals to build confidence and capability in investigating complex workplace incidents and complaints. Participants will learn to consider how psychosocial hazards and factors may have contributed to a range of incident types, from physical injuries and unsafe work practices, psychological injuries arising from poor work design, through to workplace bullying, sexual harassment, and violence.

The program will appeal to both an Australian and international audience, with a focus on meeting requirements outlined in work health and safety and industrial relations laws in Australia. The content in this 10-week program is highly practical, with a requirement for participants to apply what they have learnt through three key activities introduced during the lectures. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn from the experiences of like-minded colleagues, sharing additional tips and brainstorming solutions to implementing leading practice in psychological health and safety management.

Online delivery means that learners can join in from anywhere in the world. For those that can’t make it to one or more of the live sessions, each session is recorded and shared the day after delivery.

Note: Cohort #2 is available for internal people and safety professionals only. Super Early Bird pricing is available until 25 December 2024.

Program Overview
Overview
Understand the purpose of a psychological health and safety investigation, when to do one, and key considerations in process. In the opening session we will consider the legal requirements for investigations and where they fit within a broader psychological health and safety management strategy. You’ll be introduced to the pros and cons of existing approaches to investigation in HR and WHS, considerations around how to design investigation processes, and how to align both functions to ensure effective investigation outcomes.
Activity
Undertake a gap analysis of current investigation practices in your organisation.
Overview
Explore practical methods and strategies for planning and scoping investigations, ensuring a person-centred and trauma-informed approach. You’ll be guided through how best to gather information about psychosocial hazards and incidents and establish facts versus assumptions. Learn to investigate root causes of psychosocial factors, determining key contributing factors across individual, team and organisational levels to best inform follow-up actions.
Activity

Complete a practical root cause analysis on a current issue or incident.

Overview
In the final session, consider how to close out investigations with well executed recommendations. You’ll build knowledge in how to identify appropriate risk controls for hazards identified, applying frameworks such as the Hierarchy of Controls. Learn practical approaches you can adopt in documenting corrective actions and guiding follow-up once investigation findings are handed back to key stakeholders.
Activity
Complete a risk assessment as part of a formal or informal investigation process.
