Quantitative Psychosocial Risk Assessment: Next Generation Requirements

Hazard ID surveys were instrumental in shifting the field toward the inclusion of quantitative approaches in psychosocial risk management

And while more recent 2nd generation risk assessment tools rooted in the Occupational Hygiene Model were an important step forward, they’re not suitably equipped for the complexities of the psychosocial environment.

To advance the field it’s critical to recognise current limitations so we can better:
👉 Assess the impact of psychosocial factors on work and health outcomes
👉 Support more targeted and efficient qualitative consultation, and
👉 Design more effective controls

This white paper outlines 5 important capabilities next-generation psychosocial risk assessment tools should include.
