From safetysure-psychosocial-model
Complete Model (national) psychosocial hazard management reference. Use this skill when an action skill needs to verify or cite Model WHS Bill provisions, Model WHS Regulations (Division 11), Model Code of Practice Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work (July 2022), or Model Code of Practice Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment (December 2023). Covers all 14 psychosocial hazard categories, the four-step risk management process, control measures, investigation guidance, leadership and culture, harmful behaviours, and gender-based harassment provisions. Trigger on any mention of Model WHS psychosocial provisions, national psychosocial hazard framework, WHS Reg rr 55A-55D, psychosocial hazard identification, psychosocial risk assessment, or any matter governed by the Model psychosocial hazard provisions where jurisdiction-specific skills are not yet loaded.

Note: This is not an exhaustive list. The process outlined in the Codes of Practice should be used to ensure all hazards in the workplace are identified, assessed and controlled.
Note: These are Model (national) provisions. Jurisdictions adopt these provisions with or without modification. For jurisdiction-specific provisions, load the relevant jurisdiction skill (e.g. psychosocial-qld, psychosocial-nsw). Model provisions should not be cited as the applicable law in any specific jurisdiction without verification against the jurisdiction's enacted legislation.
