Using an insightful case study from the first responder industry, this video demonstrates several common psychosocial hazards in the workplace and how these can negatively impact on workers. In this example we explore challenges faced by paramedics which include frequent exposure to trauma, violence and aggression, while enduring extended work hours and minimal recovery time between shifts.

Discover how the employer identifies these hazards, assesses the associated risks, controls these risks, and maintains and reviews these measures to prevent harm to workers.
