In this episode of "The Art of Safety Leadership," we sit down with Rachael Haynes, an experienced voice in psychosocial safety and organisational psychology. Rachael brings decades of experience helping organisations move beyond checkbox compliance to create genuinely psychologically safe workplaces where people can thrive. 

As psychosocial risk regulations emerge globally and psychological injuries increasingly dominate workers' compensation costs, organisations face a critical question: how do we manage risks we can't see the same way we manage physical hazards? Rachael provides the roadmap. 

Key topics include: 

• Why traditional safety approaches don't work for psychosocial risks 

• The fundamental difference between physical and psychological risk management 

• How to assess psychosocial risks without over-surveying your workforce 

• The critical role of organisational culture in psychological safety 

• Why leadership behaviour is the biggest psychosocial risk factor 

• Moving from reactive psychological injury management to proactive risk prevention 

• The business case for investing in psychosocial safety 

• Practical strategies for building psychologically safe teams and organisations 

Whether you're a safety professional navigating new psychosocial regulations, an HR leader managing workplace mental health, or an executive wondering how to create sustainable high-performance cultures, this conversation offers crucial insights. 

Rachael doesn't just explain the theory, she provides practical frameworks, real examples, and honest discussions about what works and what doesn't when managing the invisible risks that can have the most visible impacts on people and business performance. 

Essential listening for anyone responsible for creating workplaces where physical and psychological safety work together to enable people to do their best work.
