About this event
Not every workplace’s potential hazards are as obvious as a puddle of water on the floor, a frayed electrical cord, or a piece of machinery without a safety guard. Workplaces can also contain less visible hazards that are just as harmful to a worker’s safety, health, well-being, and productivity. These are called “psychosocial risks” because they affect workers’ psychological and social experience.
Learn more about this combination of psychological factors and the social environment that can increase workers’ risk of work-related mental and even physical stress. We explore effective risk management on topics associated with work design, organization, and management including, workloads that are too big, management that is unresponsive to worker concerns, and workplace bullying or incivility. Leave this training session thinking about psychosocial risks the same way you would physical hazards, with ideas to assess and address them.
This course has been approved for one Construction Contractors Board continuing education credit.
