The first step in the risk management process is to identify the hazards. Your workers may talk about their exposure to psychosocial hazards in different ways. This infographic can help you think about how your workers might describe psychosocial hazards.

Under the model WHS laws, a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), such as an employer, must eliminate or minimise psychosocial risks so far as is reasonably practicable.
