PRISMA ASSESSMENT FOR WORKPLACE PSYCHOSOCIAL
RISK MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS A PRISMA ASSESSMENT

A PRisMA assessment is a DOSH-endorsed process for managing workplace psychosocial hazards like workload and role clarity. It ensures Malaysian employers comply with Section 18B of OSHA 1994 (Amendment 2022) and the DOSH PRisMA 2024 Guidelines, while aligning with the ISO 45003:2021 international standard for psychological health and safety.

WHEN YOUR WORKPLACE NEEDS A PRISMA ASSESSMENT

A PRisMA assessment is required when responding to a DOSH directive after a reported case, during routine OSH audits, or when proactively fulfilling the employer’s duty of care under OSHA 1994 (Amendment 2022) to manage physical and mental health risks.

Common triggers include:

• A DOSH directive following an employee complaint or incident
• Rising absenteeism, turnover, or burnout reports
• Pre-audit preparation for ISO 45003:2021 alignment
• Internal HR / safety committee recommendation

LEO26 EMPLOYEE QUESTIONNAIRE

The LEO26 is a validated, DOSH-endorsed questionnaire that measures employee exposure to workplace psychosocial risks like work demand and job control. Crucially, responses are submitted directly to the PTP under strict confidentiality and are never visible to HR or management.

EPC23 EMPLOYER PRACTICE CHECKLIST

The EPC23 is the employer-facing companion tool used to document your current psychosocial risk management policies. Combined with the LEO26, it provides a balanced, two-sided view of employee experience versus employer practices, ensuring a defensible assessment.

PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK ANALYSIS AND FORMULATION

Our PTP analyzes the questionnaire data against DOSH benchmarks to pinpoint active hazards, exposed teams, and risk severity. This is a structured workplace risk evaluation—not a clinical diagnostic tool—that forms the foundation of your action plan.

RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN AND FINAL REPORT

Your concrete deliverable is a formal report detailing key findings and prioritized, risk-based interventions. This acts as both a practical roadmap for reducing psychosocial risk and your official compliance baseline for future DOSH audits.
