Recognising and removing

workplace bullying risksAlthough primarily a psychological issue, workplacebullying should be managed like any other Occupational

Health and Safety hazard.

Once identified the degree of risk should be assessed

and the risk controlled and reviewed to ensure that

workplace bullying does not become, or continue to

be, a problem within the workplace

7/27/2019 2008 06 22 Workplace Bully

36/48


workplace bullying risks(contd.)

strongly recommended that, wherever possible,

agreed procedures are conducted as informally as

and providing it is safe to do so, should report

incidents of bullying to an appropriate person at the

workplace.

Step OneIdentifying the hazard

Establish whether workplace bullying actually exists, or

whether there is a potential for bullying to occur in theworkplace at some point in the future.

Consider the work required and work procedures

Focus on the systems of work rather than on the

individuals

7/27/2019 2008 06 22 Workplace Bully

38/48



Step One Identifying the hazard (contd.)

Conduct a survey of employees on the issues of

workplace bullying Monitor patterns of absenteeism, sick leave, staff

turnover, grievances, injury reports and other such

records to establish any regular patterns or sudden

unexplained changes

7/27/2019 2008 06 22 Workplace Bully

39/48

behaviours affecting the health, safety and welfare of

employees.

and/or insults, especially in front of other staff,

customers or clients

7/27/2019 2008 06 22 Workplace Bully
