Psychosocial/Mental Health Assessment evaluates the impact of workplace conditions on employees’ psychological well-being and mental health. This process involves identifying psychosocial hazards, assessing the relationship between these hazards and mental health outcomes, estimating the extent and duration of employee exposure to stressors, and characterising the overall risk.

Conducting a psychosocial / mental health assessment is crucial for preventing mental health issues in the workplace by identifying and addressing risks early. It provides the scientific basis for developing workplace mental health policies and support programs, ensuring a healthy and supportive work environment.
