Most employers find out what a PRisMA assessment requires while they're already inside one. The announcement goes out late, a third of the floor fills in the questionnaire, and the work-unit percentages end up measuring confusion rather than risk. Every item on this checklist exists because somebody skipped it.
What's inside
One page, four stages, eighteen checkboxes — drawn directly from the DOSH Guidelines on Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Management at the Workplace 2024. Governance before you start (work units, PTP appointment, OSH committee). Preparing the workforce (the early announcement, the confidentiality conversation). The assessment window itself. And what happens after the report lands: EPC23 for high-risk units, the PRiMA action plan, the 12-month and 2-year reassessment diary, the 7-year record rule.
Free, one page, no email required. Print it, hand it to your OSH committee, tick it off.

The checklist works best as a meeting agenda. Take it into your next OSH committee sitting, walk the four stages, and mark what's already in place. Whatever stays unticked is your gap list — and section A usually surfaces the first surprise, because most organisations have not yet defined their work units or appointed a Psychosocial Trained Person.
If the gaps run deeper than a memo can fix, that's the point where employers usually talk to me: the HRDC-claimable awareness workshop handles the workforce-preparation stage in one morning, and the full PRisMA assessment covers the rest.
