In this episode, Kate and Greg review a 2000 paper looking at the problems of applying the same risk assessment models used to examine physical risks to psychosocial risks.
Thanks for joining us for our first detailed conversation in the bar.
In this episode, Kate and Greg jump out of the gates and into a lively conversation on why “psychosocial risk” isn’t actually a shiny new toy the way some are speaking about it in the market – but actually has been within WHS regulatory frameworks since WHS regulator frameworks began. The conversation is anchored in a paper written by Rick & Briner in 2000, where the authors do a fantastic job of explaining psychosocial risk, but also how psychosocial risks are inherently different from physical risks. Kate and Greg share their thoughts on what that means for day-to-day application, and why it’s important to consider psychosocial risks differently.
Grab your drink of fancy, settle in and join Kate and Greg as they expand your “safety” and “psychological” literacy, whilst having some fun along the way!”
