Psychosocial Risk Management for a Healthier Workplace: A Practical Implementation Guide (en Inglés) - Georgi Toma

Psychosocial Risk Management for a Healthier Workplace gives practitioners what most guidance leaves out: a clear, evidence-informed path from knowing psychosocial risk matters to actually reducing it. It turns a daunting, fast-moving topic into simple concepts and work you can plan, defend, and get done.

The book moves from foundational concepts through to day-to-day practice. It explains what psychosocial hazards are and how they lead to harm, then turns to the organisational work of engaging executives, middle managers and staff and securing funding. It covers policies, processes, trauma-informed design, and the integration of WHS and HR, and maps the major regulatory frameworks, including ISO 45003, the Canadian National Standard, the Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice, and the UK Management Standards. A six-step risk management process sits at its core, alongside detailed treatment of nineteen common hazards, each with its causes, evidence of harm, and available controls. Industry case studies, a ninety-day action plan, and an academic companion chapter complete it. One argument runs throughout: change the work, not the worker.

Psychosocial Risk Management for a Healthier Workplace is essential reading for workplace health and safety professionals, HR professionals, wellbeing and mental health leads and anyone with responsibility for introducing psychosocial risk management practices.
