Occupational Stress Injury Resiliency (OSIR) tool
Identify stress-related risks and build resiliency in the workplace.
Using the OSIR tool
Occupational stress injuries (OSI) refer to persistent psychological difficulties experienced as a result of high-stress or traumatic experiences at work.
Developed in partnership with Signal49 (formally The Conference Board of Canada) and evaluated by the Institute for Work & Health, PSHSA’s Occupational Stress Injury Resiliency (OSIR) Tool is a practical, purpose-built leading indicator for work-related psychological conditions. The tool assists organizations assess the psychosocial work environment, identify risks for occupational stress injuries, with a focus on developing targeted preventative actions at the workplace to support mental health.

How OSIR works
Employees are sent an anonymous digital 20-question survey and aggregate results are sent to the employer. The OSIR Tool measures five factors:
- support programs
- supportive environment
- supportive leadership
- participation in mental health activities
- workplace mental health stigma
The OSIR tool generates a score that falls into four vulnerability profiles, ranging from high to minimal risk for OSI.
The results are linked to important outcomes for mental health, physical health, and the workplace – such as burnout – and actionable solutions or preventative measures are provided.
How PSHSA can help
We provide both technical and consulting support to help clients effectively implement the survey and review results. From there, clients can continue to work with PSHSA to develop action plans or go a step further in assessing risk of psychological harm with Radius, an assessment that evaluates risk at the individual job-level.
