Series 1 - Beyond the Policy: Is your WHS System Working

Having a WHS system is one thing. Knowing it works in practice is another.

Policies, procedures and risk registers describe how work should happen. Everyday decisions, competing priorities and available resources influence what actually happens.

This session helps participants look more closely at their WHS systems, recognise potential gaps and identify what evidence they need to understand whether risks are being managed effectively.

What we will explore

• Common gaps between documented procedures and everyday work.

• Early warning signs that controls may be impractical or ineffective.

• How physical and psychosocial risks can interact.

• What worker consultation and operational feedback can reveal.

• Practical ways to check implementation and control effectiveness.

Learning outcomes

Participants will be better equipped to:

• Distinguish documented arrangements from evidence of effective practice.

• Ask questions that uncover barriers to safe work.

• Identify where further verification or improvement is needed.

• Take three practical review questions back to their organisation.

Who should attend: Business owners, operational leaders, managers, supervisors, HR and WHS professionals.

Duration: 60 minutes
Delivery: Live online for your organisation, including discussion and questions.
Presented by: Kylie Long, WHS Consultant and Registered Nurse.

Series 2 - Beyond the Policy: Managing Psychosocial Risks in Everyday Work

Recognise the pressures. Understand the causes. Identify what needs to change. 

Workload, unclear expectations, inadequate support and challenging interactions can create risks to worker health and safety.

This session helps managers examine how work is designed, organised, resourced and supervised. The focus is on understanding contributing conditions and identifying practical preventive action with workers.

What we will explore

• Psychosocial hazards in everyday workplace situations.

• How work demands, role clarity, resources and support influence risk.

• The interaction between physical and psychosocial hazards.

• How worker consultation helps identify problems and workable solutions.

• Responding to concerns and following through on agreed actions.

Learning outcomes

Participants will be better equipped to:

• Recognise potential psychosocial hazards and distinguish them from signs of distress.

• Ask practical questions about working conditions and contributing factors.

• Identify changes to work design, systems, resources or supervision.

• Respond respectfully to concerns and recognise when escalation is needed.

• Check whether actions have been implemented and are helping reduce exposure.

Who should attend: Managers, supervisors, team leaders, operational leaders, HR and WHS professionals.

Duration: 60 minutes
Delivery: Live online for your organisation, including discussion and questions.
Presented by: Kylie Long, WHS Consultant and Registered Nurse.

An introductory session focused on awareness and practical action. Detailed workplace risk assessment requires a separate process.

Series 3 - Beyond the Policy: WHS Due Diligence in Practice

What evidence supports your confidence that workplace risks are being managed? 

WHS dashboards, incident statistics and completed action plans provide useful information. Leaders also need insight into significant risks, operational pressures and whether controls are effective.

This session explores how directors and senior leaders can strengthen oversight through informed questions, meaningful reporting and follow-through.

What we will explore

• Officer due diligence in the context of the relevant jurisdiction and role.

• The connection between governance decisions and operational practice.

• Oversight of significant physical and psychosocial risks.

• What WHS reports reveal and where further evidence may be needed.

• Resourcing, accountability, escalation and verification.

Learning outcomes

Participants will be better equipped to:

• Understand how officer due diligence relates to their role and organisational context.

• Ask targeted questions about significant risks and controls.

• Distinguish reported WHS activity from evidence of effective risk management.

• Seek information about worker experiences and operational challenges.

• Identify matters requiring further assurance, resources or specialist advice.

• Follow through on commitments and verify that improvements are effective.

Who should attend: Directors, board members, chief executives and senior leaders involved in WHS governance.

Duration: 90 minutes
Delivery: Live online for your organisation, including discussion and questions. Content is scoped to the agreed jurisdiction and organisational context.
Presented by: Kylie Long, WHS Consultant and Registered Nurse.

This session provides practical education. It does not replace organisation specific legal advice or establish compliance.
