Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds launch Roadmap Planner

Our partner Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds has developed a new game-changing tool designed to help businesses of all sizes understand and manage psychological health and safety in the workplace.

Healthy Heads developed the ‘Seven Stories. Seven Strategies Healthy Heads Roadmap Planner,’ as a ‘how to guide’ to encourage businesses to get started on their own workplace wellbeing plans.

With the April 2023 adoption of the ‘Model Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work,’ under Work, Health and Safety laws, businesses must eliminate or minimise psychosocial risks as far as is reasonably practical.

Healthy Heads received feedback from industry stakeholders that understanding and responding to new legislation felt overwhelming, and in response, has worked with the industry to develop the Planner, which explains mental health and psychosocial hazards through real-to-life stories.

This resource makes things as easy as possible for businesses in responding to the Model Code of Practice and the Planner offers ready-made policies, tip sheets, resource lists, training recommendations and information links, along with three example plans ready for implementation.

Developed in partnership with AP Psychology & Consulting Services who specialise in helping businesses create psychologically safe, healthy and thriving workplaces the Planner is aligned with global ISO 45003 guidelines and occupational health and safety legislation for managing workplace psychosocial hazards and risks.

The Roadmap Planner was funded through Round 6 of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI), supported by the Australian Government.
