Workplace policies
Workplace policies can provide important information and help ensure everyone involved understands the business or undertaking’s processes for managing psychosocial risks. Policies alone should not be relied on to control psychosocial risks, but they can detail responsibilities and help set clear expectations, particularly about behaviours at the workplace and during work-related activities.
You may have separate policies or one policy which covers several work health and safety issues.
Where you have policies relating to psychosocial risks these must be developed in consultation with your workers and any HSRs. All workers must be made aware of the policies and what is expected of them.
