Psychosocial risk management
Psychological safety at work
Psychosocial hazards arise from how work is designed, managed and experienced.
Under WHS legislation, organisations must identify these hazards, assess risks, implement controls, and review effectiveness — just like any other safety risk.
Kaster supports organisations with:
-
Psychosocial risk identification and assessment
-
Organisational psychosocial risk profiling
-
Clear documentation of hazards, risks and controls
-
Workshops, consultation and structured implementation support
-
Control effectiveness review and assurance
-
Audit and assurance against ISO 45003 Psychological Safety at Work and Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards
When psychosocial risk is not clearly understood
​​Without a structured, WHS-aligned approach:
​
-
Important psychosocial hazards can be missed
-
Risks are assessed inconsistently or informally
-
High-impact hazards may be underestimated
-
Controls exist, but their effectiveness isn’t verified
-
Leaders lack confidence they’re meeting their obligations
When this happens, decisions are made on assumptions instead of evidence.
​
Psychological safety doesn’t come from good intent alone.
It’s built through clear systems, structured risk management and assurance leaders can rely on.

Many organisations know psychosocial risk matters, but aren’t always confident they can clearly explain where the risks sit, how serious they are, or whether controls are actually working.
A systematic approach to psychological safety
Leaders need confidence that their organisation’s psychosocial risks are understood and that appropriate controls are in place.
​
What’s often missing isn’t commitment or care. It’s a clear, structured way to assess psychosocial risk, design adequate controls, and determine whether obligations are being met.
​
Kaster applies deep experience in safety systems, risk management and assurance to psychosocial risk with care, clarity and precision, so organisations can move forward with confidence.
​​
This is psychological safety managed as a core work health and safety risk, approached systematically, not informally.

-

ISO 45003 aligned framework
Aligned with Safe Work Australia Psychosocial Code of Practice
-
Independent audit and assurance capability
-
Experience working within complex People & Culture systems
