In this week’s Friday Workplace Briefing, Andrew Douglas and Kim McLagan discuss a Reckless Endangerment charge for Psychological Hazards given to the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).

Why have they been charged? Why not Industrial Manslaughter and what does it mean for every other organisation that has similar risks?
