Psychological Health & Safety in the Workplace

Psychological health and safety have become a critical component of occupational health and safety systems in workplaces. Students develop the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and address psychological health risks within an occupational health and safety (OHS) framework. Learners explore how factors such as work design, organizational practices, leadership, and workplace culture influence psychological well-being, and apply practical strategies to prevent harm. Students work with due diligence requirements and the Canadian Standards Association CSA Z1003 Psychological Health and Safety Standard, supporting the integration of psychological health into existing OHS systems.
