Episode Details

We are LIVE at the NSW Mining HSEC Conference for another year…

HSEC is where people from across the industry come together to share ideas, challenge thinking and learn from each other. It’s one of the few opportunities each year were operators, contractors, regulators and experts are in the same room with a common goal – making our workplaces safer and healthier.

For this episode of Digging Deeper with @ The Coalface, we're talking about why mental wellbeing matters—not just outside of work, but on site as well. While we often think of safety in terms of physical hazards, one of the biggest conversations at this year's NSW Mining HSEC Conference is around psychosocial safety.

As workplaces place greater focus on managing psychosocial hazards such as burnout, chronic stress and mental illness, it's increasingly recognised that how people are feeling can influence everything from safety and decision-making to teamwork and job satisfaction. Today, we'll explore why protecting workers' mental wellbeing has become such an important part of creating safer, healthier workplaces.

Dr Jorian Kippax is going to bring the perspective from working on the front line with Ambulance Tasmania and being part of multiple rescue missions. Renata Roberts, Chief Corporate Services Officer with Bloomfield, will share her experience working in mining and developing wellbeing initiatives in the workplace and Craig Semple a former detective of 25 years will share some powerful insights drawn from his lived experience that he delivers in the mining industry.
