The psychosocial hazards that give rise to the risk of mental health injuries in the workplace are:

• High Job demands – such as excessive work and high workloads
• Low job demands – such as too little to do or monotonous tasks
• Low job control – where workers have little say in how their work is performed
• Poor support – where there is a lack of support, including training
• Poor workplace relationships – occur when there is conflict, bullying, harassment, lack of fairness and equity 
• Low job clarity – when conflicting demands lead to uncertainty Poor organisational change management – where there is little consideration of the health aspects, and inadequate consultation and communication
• Low recognition and reward – such as lack of positive feedback
• Poor organisational justice – such as unfairness in procedures such as bias
• Poor environmental conditions – where the workplace is hazardous due to noise, dust, chemicals etc.
• Remote work – where there are long travel times
• Isolated work – where the employee is isolated from support structures and others
• Violent or traumatic events – such as suicide and vicarious trauma
