• promoting the importance of psychological health and safety in the working environment
• ensuring employers eliminate or reduce risks to health and safety associated with psychosocial hazards so far as is reasonably practicable
• providing more clarity for employers about their obligations as they relate to psychological health and safety
• increasing awareness about psychosocial hazards and ways to eliminate or reduce risks associated with those hazards.

How will the Regulations do this?
The Regulations will achieve its objective by prescribing a tailored risk management process requiring all employers to:

• identify psychosocial hazards;
• control the risks associated with a psychosocial hazard by either eliminating or reducing those risks, so far as is reasonably practicable; and
• review and revise risk controls in prescribed circumstances.
