Mental Health & Psychosocial Risk Management

Psychosocial risk management means controlling risks that increase the likelihood of work-related stress. It’s harder to predict psychosocial risk with risk matrixes that are used to identify or predict physical hazards, like chemical or electrical hazards. Managers do not have much information about the daily work life and general life stressors of their employees. Also, managers are not often aware of how to identify psychosocial risks. So, sometimes these risks are overlooked.
