Workplace Bullying and Harassment Related to Health Conditions or Disability Toolbox Talk

This bullying and disability toolbox talk template from Health & Safety Zone offers a detailed, ready‑to‑use guide for organisations to identify, prevent and control bullying and harassment that targets employees with health conditions or disabilities. The template outlines the main hazards, including verbal abuse, exclusion from duties, unreasonable workload pressures and the failure to provide reasonable adjustments, and provides step‑by‑step DO and DON’T actions. It is suitable for HR managers, line supervisors, health and safety officers, and senior leaders in any sector, from manufacturing and construction to office‑based environments and public services. The document is fully editable, so you can insert your own company name, adapt the risk assessment to site‑specific risks and add bespoke examples. Compliant with: Equality Act 2010, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and BS EN ISO 45003:2021, ensuring legal conformity and best practice in psychosocial risk management. Employers can use the template during induction, in regular safety briefings, or as part of a wider wellbeing programme. It includes guidance on conducting psychosocial risk assessments, establishing confidential reporting channels, providing training, and documenting investigations. By adopting this toolbox talk, organisations can reduce the risk of costly tribunal claims, improve employee morale, and fulfil their duty of care under UK law.
