Template · Free Trial
A blank spreadsheet isn't a template — it's a starting point that falls apart the moment two people fill it in differently. Here's what a real one needs, and it's the structure PsychosocialGuard gives you from your first assessment, not a PDF you print and lose track of.
The fields
Which of the 17 recognised psychosocial hazards applies, and a plain-English account of how it shows up in this workplace.
Likelihood × consequence, rated consistently so cases can be compared and prioritised across the organisation.
What already exists — training, policy, rostering, EAP — and whether it actually reduces the risk or just exists on paper.
The specific next step, who owns it, and a due date. This is the part a spreadsheet almost never enforces.
Evidence that workers were consulted, per the WHS duty to consult — not just management's view of the risk.
When the control gets checked again, and what changed. Closing the loop is what regulators actually look for.
When something goes wrong
A template that stops at "risk rating: high" hasn't actually explained anything. Each contributing factor gets its own why-chain — keep asking why until you reach something you can control, not just the symptom on the surface.
Once a case is closed, its RCA is sealed — no quiet edits after the fact if a regulator asks to see it later.
Four fields, captured while the case is still fresh: what the hazard was, what was done, the outcome, and how to prevent it happening again.
This is the evidence that you fed what you learned back into your controls — not just that you identified a risk, but that the organisation actually got smarter because of it.
Why not just a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet doesn't stop someone from skipping the consultation column, forgetting a review date, or overwriting an old risk rating. PsychosocialGuard's five-tab workflow — Details, Hazard Register, Action Plan, Consultations, Export — enforces the structure above on every case, and when something does go wrong, the root cause analysis and lessons learned tools help you work out why it happened and show you fed that learning back into your controls. Everything produces a regulator-ready PDF in one click, with every closed case SHA-256 hashed and RFC 3161 timestamped so it's independently verifiable later.
