Build a Psychosocial Risk Control Plan for Your FIFO Workforce
Download the practical FIFO guide and control-plan template designed to help organisations identify psychosocial hazards, document existing controls, assign corrective actions and review whether those controls are working.
Free practical resource for FIFO and remote-work organisations.
Turn psychosocial risk into something your operation can actually manage
Psychosocial risk management should not become another disconnected layer of paperwork.
This guide provides a practical framework for identifying psychosocial hazards, assessing exposure, documenting controls, assigning corrective actions and reviewing whether those controls are effective.
Identify FIFO psychosocial hazards
Recognise hazards arising from work design, remote and isolated work, workload, support, organisational factors and workplace interactions.
Assess existing controls and gaps
Look at what is already in place, who is exposed and where additional controls may be required.
Use the systems you already have
Where appropriate, psychosocial hazards and corrective actions can be incorporated into existing hazard, risk and corrective-action registers rather than creating another standalone process.
Clearly identify psychosocial hazards
Ensure the hazard is clearly identified as psychosocial, with ownership, actions, due dates and effectiveness reviews documented.
Use a ready-to-use control-plan template
The guide includes a practical template that can be adapted to existing organisational risk-management processes.
What you'll get

- A worked FIFO example
- Psychosocial Risk Control Plan template
- FIFO Site Readiness Checklist
- Guidance on reviewing control effectiveness
Training is not the control plan
Psychosocial risk management requires organisations to consider the work itself, including work design, systems, supervision, consultation, workload, organisational factors and other sources of risk.
Training and worker awareness can support an organisation's broader control environment, but they do not replace action on the underlying hazard.
FIFO Mind Connect is designed to support frontline psychosocial risk awareness and early response as one component of a broader organisational approach.
