Where to actually learn psychosocial safety: a resource list worth following

Most of what we publish here tracks the regulatory and case-law side of psychosocial risk, what got prosecuted, what a code of practice actually requires, what a court decided. That is one part of learning this space properly. The other part is finding people who are breaking the practical side down in plain language, and that is harder to search for than it should be. Felix Hall put the question directly to his network this week: where do people actually go to learn more about psychosocial safety. He is crowdsourcing the answers into a running list across books, podcasts, webinar series and training, and it is shaping up to be one of the better starting points we have seen for anyone new to the field or wanting a second opinion on their approach. He and Niru Nagalingam have also been running a psychosocial webinar series through the year, breaking learnings down in a practical, tangible way, worth a look if that format suits how you learn. Alongside a list like that, two anchors are worth keeping bookmarked. Comcare's psychosocial hazards guidance is one of the most practical free starting points for anyone in the Commonwealth jurisdiction, and Safe Work Australia's Model Code of Practice on managing psychosocial hazards is the one to go to when you want the actual regulatory language rather than a summary of it. None of this replaces the day to day work of identifying hazards and tracking controls, but knowing where good information actually lives makes that work easier. Worth a follow.
