Harm By Design : Psychosocial Risk Management at Work
Overview
Psychosocial harm isn't an individual weakness. It's a system design failure.
Most organisations are still trying to solve stress, burnout and psychological injury with resilience training, EAPs and wellbeing initiatives - while the real hazards remain untouched.
This book shows you how psychosocial harm is produced by work itself - and how to redesign the system to reduce exposure at the source.
Built around the 4D Human Work System framework - Design, Demands, Dynamics and Defences - this is a practical playbook for leaders and safety professionals who need more than theory. Inside, you'll learn how to:- Identify where work design is generating psychosocial risk
- Explain why two teams with the same workload experience radically different outcomes
- Recognise how leadership behaviour under pressure becomes a primary hazard
- Move beyond "wellbeing theatre" to real, defensible controls
- Design assessments that stand up to regulatory scrutiny
- Build monitoring and governance structures that prevent harm over time
- Address emerging realities like remote work, algorithmic management, precarious employment and climate stress
This is not another book about self-care.
It is a systems-based approach to designing work people can live with - year after year.
If you are a leader, safety professional, regulator, board member or organisational designer responsible for preventing harm - not managing its aftermath - this book gives you a clear, credible and implementable path forward.
