Concurrent investigations

Harmful behaviours, such as bullying and harassment can be inappropriate responses from workers exposed to other hazards, for example high job demands and poor support. Where these behaviours breach employment codes of conduct or professional standards you may require a separate investigation into these breaches as a disciplinary matter, as well as a systematic WHS investigation looking at any hazards present and ensuring they are controlled.

Where breaches of a code of conduct or professional standard are not proven there may still be an underlying WHS risk which needs be controlled.
