About this event
Join ReturnToWorkSA and SafeWork SA to learn about South Australia’s two new Codes of Practice for managing psychosocial hazards and risks. These workshops will help you understand your obligations and create safer, healthier workplaces.
This interactive workshop explores South Australia’s newly published Codes of Practice that support businesses to meet their obligations under the psychosocial regulations of the Work Health and Safety Act 2012. While employers have always been legally required to protect workers from both physical and psychological hazards, the new Codes provide clear, practical guidance on how to meet these responsibilities in everyday workplace settings.
Hosted by ReturnToWorkSA’s Mentally Healthy Workplace Service, and co-presented by Samantha Atkins, Principal Inspector – Organisational Psychology at SafeWork SA, this workshop will guide participants through the Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice and the Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Code of Practice, including what the changes mean for employers and workers.
In this workshop, we will cover:
- Why psychosocial hazards matter and the common hazards present in workplaces
- How both Codes of Practice support a structured risk management approach
- Key features of the Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Code, including behaviours that create risks of harm at work
- Practical case studies that show how the Codes can be applied
- Tools and resources to help you meet your WHS obligations
These workshops are ideal for employers, WHS & HR Professionals, RTW Coordinators, and leaders seeking practical guidance on addressing psychosocial hazards and protecting workers from physical and psychological harm.
ReturnToWorkSA will email all participants the relevant ‘join details’ for the workshop within 24 hours prior to the event.
