Australia’s only validated psychosocial risk assessment tool is now available online. 

The People at Work online tool is changing what was previously a paper-based survey, with time-consuming manual data entry sheets, to a user-friendly digital service.

“Put simply, People at Work is free for Aussie businesses and workplaces to help them identify and manage work-related psychosocial hazards and factors which doesn’t need an expert to interpret the psychosocial risk assessment results” says Jim Kelly, Director of Health and Safe Design at SafeWork NSW. 

“Workplaces have a duty to protect the psychological health of workers in the same way they protect their physical safety.”

The new digital platform enables organisations to:

  • self-administer the People at Work survey to their workers

  • add custom demographics like workgroups and roles

  • receive automated reporting with key breakdowns to identify high risk areas with recommended control measures, benchmarking, and guidance

The platform also provides organisations with their results in both a high-level summary and a detailed report with suggestions for improvements in the workplace.
