NSW to require psychosocial risks to be managed in the workplace

NSW has introduced amendments to its health and safety legislation, which from 1 October 2022 requires workplaces to manage psychosocial risks. WorkSafe New Zealand has recognised these risks and has good practice guidelines in place which are summarised in these slides. We will continue to keep a watching brief on this situation and how it will evolve in New Zealand.
