Hillary Bennett on responding to mental harm as we do to physical harm Hi all,
The potential for psychological injury is an interesting topic not only for work related hazards but for issues external to the workplace brought into work. The HSWA is about hazards created by the workplace however, ISO 45001 asks us to consider external and internal issues that may impact on the effectiveness of the H&S management of the business and includes identifying situations/factors occurring in the vicinity of the workplace not controlled by the org that could impact on work. e.g. a family violence situation and the risk of a perpetrator visiting the complainant at work. Our current situation may also fit into this. The question is, "how far should we go"?
