Lodge control measures with ease
The psychosocial risk register makes it easy to prioritise risks and record control measures with confidence. Your active control section shows every control that is live in your business where you can monitor, update and track the controls you’ve committed to. Users simply select the relevant psychosocial risk, identify the affected group, and record the control measure details, any scenarios, actions and reviews linked to the control, and supporting notes. This section also includes a Library containing any templates that are available to consider and apply within the business.
Once a control measure is lodged, its effectiveness can be continuously evaluated over time. Mibo automatically visualises data progression from the point the control measure is implemented, allowing you to see whether it is genuinely reducing harm or improving outcomes. Progress updates and control measure modification notes can be stored alongside the original record, creating a clear and auditable history that supports continuous improvement rather than one-off compliance.
Track Psychosocial Risk Register Actions
You need to make sure your control measures are actually delivered. You can design the best controls in the world, but if they’re not delivered they wont reduce risk. This is what Actions are for. The control measures are the general ‘what’ you want to achieve and the actions are the specific ‘how’ you will actually achieve the goal. So actions are the tasks that need to be completed for the control measure to be implemented properly. For example, drafting a new policy, scheduling a training program, or putting in place a new team ritual. Actions help turn the control ideas into reality and Mibo helps you choose, implement and track actions every step of the way.
When actions are completed, you have a clear record that delivery happened, and that record matters both for managing the program and demonstrating it when its required. All people responsible for action delivery will receive automated notification updates based on status to keep accountability clear.
Risk Matrices
Traditional risk matrices are built based on likelihood and impact. They work well for linear risk that are discreet and measurable…a single event with a clear probability and a defined conseqence, typical of physical risks.
But psychosocial risks don’t work that way, so we need out psychosocial risk register to reflect that reality. Instead, psychosocial risks are cumulative with exposure building over time. They are interrelated which each factor is influencing other factors in the environment. For example, poor fairness can increase incivility. And they are non-linear… for example a small increase in one risk could tip someone from coping to not, especially when combined with other work stressors.
This means when using risk matrices for psychosocial risks we need to apply them thoughtfully and understand their limitations. We’ve designed the Mibo risk matrices section with all these considerations front of mind, so you can successfully report psychosocial risk into broader enterprise risk systems in your company.
