Reduce PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK
Construction-Specific Unconscious Bias Training
For Frontline Leaders Targeting
Sexual Harassment | Bullying | Discrimination | Intimidation | Gender Inequity
Supported by Construction Skills Queensland.
Designed specifically for supervisors, foremen, managers and other frontline leaders in construction.
The training builds capability across six key areas:
Awareness, Application, Bystander Action, Reporting, Leadership Responsibility and Intervention.
Built specifically for the construction industry and delivered through AI-adaptive learning technology that creates personalised learning journeys for every participant.
Why Unconscious Bias Matters?
Psychosocial risk starts in the jokes that go unchallenged, the voices that are ignored, the behaviours dismissed, and the assumptions people do not realise are influencing their decisions.
EPIC RISE helps frontline leaders recognise and reduce the unconscious behaviours that can contribute to:
- Sexual Harassment
- Bullying
- Discrimination
- Intimidation
- Gender Inequity
From Awareness to Action
Frontline leaders learn how to recognise issues early, understand when behaviour crosses the line, step in safely, support workers, respond appropriately and follow the correct reporting and escalation pathways.
AI-Adaptive Learning Technology
The technology identifies what each learner knows, what they do not know and where they may be confidently wrong, then adapts the learning in real time to correct those gaps.
Why This Matters?

vs phsycial injury claims
Workforce shortages cannot be solved without addressing the workplace behaviours that are driving people away.
Unconscious bias can influence everyday decisions, interactions and leadership responses, contributing to:
Sexual Harassment | Bullying | Discrimination | Intimidation | Gender Inequity
EPIC RISE helps frontline leaders recognise these behaviours earlier, respond appropriately and prevent issues from escalating into complaints, absenteeism, turnover or project risk.
Stronger frontline leadership supports safer sites, better workforce retention and more respectful, productive teams.
Why Action Is Needed Now?
PCBU’s have a duty to eliminate or minimise psychosocial hazards and are required to provide suitable and adequate training, instruction and supervision as part of managing psychosocial risks.
EPIC RISE helps PCBU’s strengthen this control by building the practical capability of frontline leaders to recognise risk, intervene early and respond appropriately.
Cost of Inaction:
25-30% workforce turnover rates
equals billions lost each year
$8B Lost Productivity
Poor workplace culture costs the industry billions each year.
1.5X Cost of Replacement
Cost in recruitment, onboarding and downtime.
4X Higher Claim Costs
Psychological injury claims cost more than physical injuries and result in longer time away from work.
Reducing unconscious bias, improving workplace behaviour and addressing psychosocial risks can help PCBU’s strengthen workplace culture, improve retention and create psychologically safe workplaces.

The Moment Change Happens
“I didn’t think that was sexist, but now I realise it is.”
That’s when transformation and behaviour change happens.
