Best Risk Management Software Australia

Choosing the best risk management software Australia organisations use should start with what belongs in the register, and one category is routinely missing.

Australian work health and safety duties now expressly cover psychosocial hazards. Job demands, low control, poor support, bullying, harassment and poor organisational justice are hazards to be identified and managed in the same frame as a physical risk.

Most risk registers were built around physical hazards and never updated. A register with twelve entries about plant and none about workload is not describing the organisation.

Practically, ask whether the product supports hazard categories you define, links a hazard to controls and an owner, and reports on overdue actions. All of that is generic. Using it for psychosocial risk is the part you have to decide to do.

Safe Work Australia publishes psychosocial hazard guidance. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
