What is
Psychological Safety Compliance at Work
In Australia, from 2022, changes to Work Health and Safety legislation formally recognised psychosocial hazards, such as bullying, harassment, excessive workload, poor support, and psychological injury, as a clear and enforceable legal responsibility for employers.
Since this change, regulators have expected organisations to proactively identify, assess, control, and review psychological risks in the same way they manage physical hazards, with a strong emphasis on prevention rather than reaction. For employers, this means psychological safety must be embedded into everyday operations, leadership practices, policies, and culture, with documented evidence to demonstrate compliance.
Failing to address psychosocial risks can lead to regulatory action, significant penalties, increased workers’ compensation claims, reputational damage, and loss of talent, while organisations that take this responsibility seriously are far better positioned to build safe, productive, and sustainable workplaces.
