In late 2023, AREEA’s National Resources and Energy Industry Taskforce on Workplace Sexual Harassment developed a four-part Appropriate Workplace Behaviours Guide Series: Foundations, Prevention, Response and Fact Sheet.
AREEA is pleased to announce this significant resource has been aligned with Safe Work Australia’s new Model Code of Practice: Sexual and gender-based harassment (December 2023) and bolstered with the latest legislative changes across various jurisdictions.
New and updated Codes of Practice
Over recent months, several authorities announced, started or updated WHS Codes of Practice. As a result, most states now have dedicated Codes of Practice dealing with inappropriate workplace behaviours and the management of psychosocial hazards. A few examples follow:
ACT
Work Health and Safety (Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice) Approval 2023
Work Health and Safety (Preventing and Responding to Bullying) Code of Practice 2012 (No 1)
NSW
Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work 2021
QUEENSLAND
Managing the risk of psychosocial hazards at work Code of Practice 2022
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Code of Practice Psychosocial hazards in the workplace 2022
Code of Practice Violence and aggression at work 2022
Code of Practice Workplace behaviour 2022
Code of Practice Mentally healthy workplaces for fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers in the resources and construction sectors (2019)
Similarly, most states now have Codes of Practice dealing with consultation, cooperation and coordination.
Our four-part guide has incorporated all the relevant changes, underscoring the increased focus on ensuring appropriate workplace behaviours, managing psychosocial hazards and applying good work design while adhering to best practice for consultation, cooperation and coordination.
The updated series is now available to assist your workplace. For further help or information, contact [email protected]
