Psychosocial hazard work re-design tool

The Psychosocial hazard work re-design tool (PHReD-T) guides you through the process of redesigning a work task or workplace to manage psychosocial hazards.

What is the PHReD-T?

The PHReD-T:

  • helps you to identify psychosocial hazards in your workplace
  • provides strategies for planning, implementing, and evaluating the redesign of work to reduce risk
  • is relevant to any industry.

What are the benefits?

  • The aim of the PHReD-T is to help you develop understanding and skills to identify psychosocial hazards at work.
  • The PHReD-T will also help you design or re-design work to create mentally healthy workplaces consistent with the NSW Government’s Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work.
  • This will have a positive and protective impact on people’s health and wellbeing, benefitting you and your workplace.
  • The PHReD-T was originally developed for people with responsibilities for managing WHS, such as WHS advisors, consultants and managers, but is also relevant to a range of roles, including HR and any other managers with WHS duties.

Getting started

The tool can take some time to complete, as it requires you to think deeply about the scenario you’ve chosen and reflect on the information in the background materials to guide you. The process is split into a number of steps, however, each of which can be broken down further into smaller sections, so you may only need short periods of time to work on each step or parts of each step.
