The Governance Gap

Psychosocial Risk Is Now a Governance Responsibility

Boards and executives face unprecedented accountability for workplace psychosocial hazards. Yet most governance tools measure individual wellbeing — not system-level conditions.

WHS Obligations

Safe Work Australia mandates psychosocial hazard management. Beacon Index provides the structured visibility your board requires for defensible compliance.

Early Strain Detection

Unlike culture surveys that capture sentiment, Beacon Index detects systemic conditions before they manifest as individual harm — enabling proactive intervention.

Documented Oversight

Every assessment produces an auditable record. Demonstrate to regulators and stakeholders that your board maintains genuine visibility of risk exposure.

Risk Framework

Risk Bands Guide
Proportionate Action

The 0–100 composite score maps to defined risk bands, enabling your board to calibrate response based on evidence rather than assumption.

Thresholds are evidence-calibrated and aligned to ISO 45003 hazard domains. Organisations may align tolerance bands to their governance framework while preserving core weighting integrity.

≥ 80 Low Psychosocial Risk Exposure

Healthy operating conditions. Strong protective factors present. Standard governance monitoring.

70–79 Within Psychosocial Risk Tolerance

Operating within acceptable exposure range. Trend monitoring required.

60–69 Emerging Psychosocial Risk Exposure

Early strain indicators present. Targeted review recommended.

< 60 Elevated Psychosocial Risk Exposure

Sustained systemic strain signals. Structured intervention required.
