Safe Work Australia and eSafety have developed practical resources on how to manage the risks of online abuse at work.
Online abuse is behaviour that uses technology to threaten, intimidate, bully, harass or humiliate. It can happen on online platforms such as social media, by phone, email or any other technology used at work.
Online abuse can cause psychological and physical harm. Under work health and safety laws, employers are required to take care of the health and safety of workers which includes managing the risks of online abuse.
The new resources, including a downloadable poster and checklist, provide employers and workers with practical information about what online abuse in the workplace is, how to prevent it, and where to get support.
Learn more about the work health and safety risks of online abuse, sexual harassment and bullying.
Explore online safety resources for employers and workers on the eSafety website.
