With the arrival of the Act to modernize the occupational health and safety system, several changes could have an impact on your company.
One of the major changes provided for in the new Act stipulates that “employers must now ensure that their prevention program or action plan includes work-related psychosocial risks that may have an impact on workers’ health”. Following this training, the user will be better equipped to recognize the main risk factors of PSRs and to know the organizational practices that allow them to be controlled.
It is important to be concerned about PSRs because of the impact they have on the psychological health of workers, but also because they have negative consequences for the organization by decreasing the commitment and productivity of personnel.
This OHS online course presents in detail the different risk factors that can occur in the workplace and that are grouped under two main categories: work organization and social factors at work. Concrete examples are provided for each factor to help understand the impact and scope of psychosocial risks. Each risk is accompanied by possible solutions as well as best practices to manage the risk.
