A hands-on practitioner course for HSE, HR and occupational-health professionals who must measure, cost, reduce and recover from psychosocial risk — not just talk about it. You will run validated surveys, perform an ISO 45003 gap assessment, build a business case, and design phased return-to-work plans. The course is organized into 11 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.

  • From Awareness to Management: What RPS Really Is
  • The Legal & Standards Backbone
  • Choosing Your Instrument: COPSOQ vs Gollac
  • Running the Survey: Ethics, Anonymity & Response Rate
  • Scoring & Reading the Results
  • The ISO 45003 Gap Assessment
  • Costing Psychosocial Risk
  • Building the Business Case & ROI
  • Designing Collective Interventions
  • Phased Return-to-Work After Mental-Health Absence
  • The 12-Month RPS Action Plan & Governance

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish psychosocial risk (RPS) from individual mental illness, and frame it as a measurable, organisational hazard under occupational health law.
  • Select, deploy and ethically administer a validated employee survey (COPSOQ III or the Gollac framework) with credible response rates and anonymity safeguards.
  • Score, weight and interpret survey results into a risk heat-map and a defensible action priority list.
  • Conduct a structured ISO 45003 gap assessment of your organisation's psychosocial management system and rate maturity.
  • Quantify the cost of psychosocial risk (absenteeism, turnover, presenteeism, claims) and calculate the ROI of proposed interventions.
  • Design a phased, accommodation-based return-to-work plan after stress- or mental-health-related absence, coordinated with occupational medicine.
  • Build a 12-month RPS action plan that links collective prevention, monitoring indicators and governance.
  • Use the AMAADOR Workshop tools (ISO 45003 gap, psychosocial survey, RPS cost, return-to-work) confidently and lawfully.
