National Guidelines for Screen Safety
PSYCHOSOCIAL AND PHYSICAL RISKS
Each state and territory WHS legislation has been amended to introduce a new legal obligation to manage psychological risks in the workplace.
To comply with safety law, Producers must now conduct a risk assessment on every production to identify, assess and manage psychosocial hazards. Psychosocial hazards can include workplace conflict, work overload, fatigue, exposure to traumatic content and poor management. Producers should be guided by the relevant state Code of Practice for managing psychosocial hazards at work.
