Why PsychProof
Harm gets designed into work. We give you the process to prove you have control over it.
Psychosocial risk is not a mood to be surveyed or a weakness to be trained away. It is the product of how work is set up, and it takes an ongoing process, and the right people, to prevent it. This is who and what stands behind PsychProof.
What experts say about PsychProof
Independent review, not our own copy.
“Treating psychosocial hazards as dynamic risks requiring continuous management, not as a once-a-year compliance list.”
“The platform was built to eliminate the gap between hazard identification and action.”
“The point isn't to prove a box was ticked; it's to make work design and team dynamics genuinely better.”
From judge feedback on PsychProof's Finalist entry, Innovation in Psychosocial Risk Management, Psychosocial Safety & Leadership Awards 2026.
The real problem
Psychosocial risk is designed into the work. A survey can't undo it.
Most organisations still treat psychosocial risk as a one-off event. Run the survey, read the heat map, roll out a resilience session, file the report. Every one of those is a snapshot of a single day. The risk itself is not a snapshot. It is the ongoing result of how work is designed, resourced and led, and it keeps moving long after the survey closes.
This is the case Jamie Mallinder makes in Harm by Design. Psychosocial harm is rarely a matter of individual weakness or poor coping. It is almost always the outcome of system decisions, and it hides in the spaces between them, where trade-offs get absorbed and no one clearly owns the result.
Follow that logic and the conclusion is unavoidable. If harm is built into the design of work, it can only be prevented by changing the work, then checking the change actually held. That is not something a survey does. It is a continuous process: identify the hazard, redesign the work, put a control in place with a clear owner, and review whether the risk genuinely came down.
That process is what PsychProof is. Not another tool for measuring how people feel on a given Tuesday, but the layer underneath it, where a finding becomes a designed control, an accountable owner and a reviewed outcome.
Who stress-tests it
Pressure-tested by the people who look for the gaps.
PsychProof was shaped with input from people who spend their careers on the step a regulator actually checks: what an organisation did after a risk was found. That expertise is built into how the product works and what it asks you to prove.
They are not an advisory board that lent its name. They are former WHS inspectors now consulting, former regulators and tribunal-side practitioners, WHS lawyers who run these matters, and psychosocial risk consultants who remediate them week to week. We put the product in front of them and asked where it would fail. They told us where it did, and it changed. What you are using is shaped by the standard a regulator inspects to, the way a claim is argued, and what a control has to prove to actually count.
