Course Description
Psychosocial risks are now the leading cause of occupational disease claims in France — and employers are no longer protected by ignorance. Under Articles L4121-1 to L4121-5 of the Labour Code, the duty of prevention is absolute: organisations must identify, assess, and actively reduce the risks that affect the mental and physical health of their employees.
This course was designed for HR leaders, occupational health professionals, compliance officers, and managers who need to move from reactive crisis management to structured, legally defensible prevention. You will learn to diagnose psychosocial risks using validated models, build prevention plans that hold up under inspection, and lead the governance structures that regulators, courts, and ESG frameworks now demand.
Across six progressive modules, you will cover the full spectrum — from legal liability and risk assessment to managerial practice, social dialogue, ethical governance, and the emerging challenges of hybrid and algorithmic work. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to protect your employees, your organisation, and your leadership position.
Why This Training Matters
In France, psychosocial risks are now the primary driver of occupational disease litigation — and employer liability is unlimited.
Courts have consistently ruled that the duty of prevention under the Labour Code is an obligation of result, not of means. Organisations without documented prevention systems face criminal exposure, civil damages, and rising ESG scrutiny — regardless of intent.
Where This Course Takes You
Command the legal framework and understand your liability
You will master the employer duty of prevention under the Labour Code, understand how courts interpret psychosocial risk obligations, and identify exactly where your organisation is currently exposed.
Diagnose psychosocial risks with validated models
Using the Karasek, Siegrist, and COPSOQ frameworks alongside qualitative work analysis, you will be able to conduct a rigorous PSR assessment and integrate findings directly into your DUERP.
Design prevention plans that hold up under scrutiny
From work organisation redesign to managerial training and social dialogue with the CSE, you will build structured, documented prevention strategies that satisfy inspectors, auditors, and courts.
Lead psychosocial risk governance at executive level
You will integrate PSR management into ESG reporting, corporate governance, and leadership accountability frameworks — and be equipped to present a credible prevention strategy to any board or regulator.
