Not a generic template. Our psychosocial hazard kits for automotive and auto services are built around the risks that actually show up across Australian workshops, smash repairers, roadside and towing operators and vehicle hire businesses — a researched risk assessment for each of the 17 psychosocial hazards, plus a matrix of 200+ risks for your workplace. Over 200 hours of work, already done.
This Digital Compliance Kit is specifically designed for Australian small to medium businesses.

The automotive and auto services kit covers running a workshop — flat-rate pressure, customer conflict, apprentice supervision, rework disputes. Then, because a tow operator works differently to a smash repairer, we built a kit for each operation as well.
For owners and managers across mechanical repair, body repair, roadside and recovery, and vehicle hire. 17 hazard categories written around running a workshop — flat-rate pressure, customer conflict, apprentice supervision, parts delays.

Under the model Work Health and Safety Regulations, a person conducting a business or undertaking must identify psychosocial hazards, eliminate the risk so far as is reasonably practicable, and where elimination is not possible, minimise the risk using control measures. Since 1 December 2025 these duties have been enforceable in every Australian state and territory. From 1 July 2026, NSW businesses must comply with the approved Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work or demonstrate an equivalent standard.
Regulators expect control measures based on the actual risk profile of the work. Generic statements do not satisfy the duty, and higher-order controls that change the work itself are preferred over controls that ask the worker to cope. For an automotive business, this means the assessment must address the hazards that arise in your workplace rather than describing workplace stress in the abstract.
Automotive work builds psychosocial risk into how the work is paid. Flat-rate and billable-hour systems transfer commercial risk to the technician, so a difficult job becomes a personal financial loss — a structural high-demand, low-control arrangement rather than an attitude problem. Customer conflict over cost, diagnosis and delay is a routine feature of service work, and staff at the counter absorb it with little authority to resolve it. Parts and supply delays sit outside the workshop's control while the customer expectation does not move. The trade also carries a well-documented apprentice risk: young workers in hierarchical workshops experience bullying and hazing at rates above the general workforce, and are least likely to report it.
SafeWize automotive kits include a separate risk assessment for each recognised psychosocial hazard, approximately 5 to 6 pages per hazard, with the hazard described in your industry's language, the risk rated, and controls selected and mapped to the hierarchy of controls. The full list is set out on the psychosocial kits page.
In a WHS investigation, documentary evidence determines the outcome. Inspectors typically ask for the psychosocial risk assessment, the control measures selected and their position in the hierarchy of controls, evidence of worker consultation, and records showing controls have been reviewed. A statement that the workplace culture is positive is not a defence and does not appear in an audit trail.
The obligations described on this page come from the model WHS Regulations and the psychosocial hazards Code of Practice. The primary sources are published by Safe Work Australia and the state and territory regulators:
Your regulator: SafeWork NSW · WorkSafe Victoria · WorkSafe Queensland · SafeWork SA · WorkSafe WA · WorkSafe Tasmania · WorkSafe ACT · NT WorkSafe · Comcare (Commonwealth)
SafeWize is not a regulator. The kits are compliance documentation, not legal advice. Always check the current requirements with the regulator in your jurisdiction.
The kits are built to the model WHS framework and the psychosocial hazards Code of Practice, which every Australian state and territory now enforces. Enforceable psychosocial duties have applied nationally since 1 December 2025, and NSW businesses must comply with the approved Code of Practice, or demonstrate an equivalent standard, from 1 July 2026.
Roughly 15 per cent. You delete what does not apply to your workplace, add your business name and sign off on the controls. Most businesses finish a kit in an afternoon.
Not to produce the documentation. The kits provide the risk assessments, the controls matrix, the SOPs and the policies a regulator asks for, which is the part consultants normally bill 500 or more hours to write.
Regulators expect control measures based on the actual risk profile of the work rather than generic statements. Automotive work builds psychosocial risk into how the work is paid. A template that could belong to any business is the kind of document that fails an audit.
No. Psychosocial duties are already enforceable. Buy either kit now and the full amount you paid is credited against the SafeWize compliance system when it launches in November 2026.
