Psychological Safety and Risk Management

7. Monitoring and reviewing controls

Due to the complexity of workplace factors, it is important that psychosocial hazards and risks are managed on an ongoing basis.

The principal or their delegate must monitor and review the effectiveness of implemented risk controls using the OHS risk register, in consultation with school staff who are or likely to be affected, and HSRs (where elected). The register must be reviewed annually. However, additional reviews may be necessary when:

  • an incident or hazard is reported
  • a new potential risk is identified (for example, through a report on eduSafe Plus, or in discussions with a staff member).

The OHS advisory service and regional OHS service officers are available to support schools in monitoring and reviewing controls.
