Legislation and Regulation
In relation to Psychological Health & Safety at Work in the UK, employers must:
Decide what could harm you in your work and the precautions to stop it. This is part of risk assessment
In a way that you can understand, tell you how risks are controlled and tell you who is responsible for this.
Consult with you and your health and safety representatives to protect everyone from workplace harm.
Free of charge, give you the health and safety training you need to do your job.
Feedback
The differences between identifying risks and hazards - whilst in physical risk assessments its natural to separate the two, this was initially harder when considering risks to psychological wellbeing. Also: the idea that having to comply with a policy / procedure for physical (and possibly even psychological) wellbeing can be a hazard in itself. (This is probably basic to most, but I just hadn't considered it!)
