What if safety behaviour wasn’t just about ticking boxes or following procedures? In this episode, we unpack the deeper forces that shape how people act at work—from leadership signals and peer norms to production pressures and psychological safety. Moving beyond blame and compliance, we explore how safety behaviour reflects what organisations truly value, and how it can serve as both a mirror of culture and a lever for change. If you care about trust, resilience, and real safety—not just the paperwork—this one’s for you.

This episode explores the hidden dangers and cultural failures within Australia’s horse racing industry, drawing broader lessons about workplace safety, leadership accountability, and institutional denial. It examines how harmful practices were excused as “back then,” why such justifications fail, and how silence and reputation protection perpetuate unsafe environments. Parallels are drawn to other institutions where abuse was minimised, highlighting the urgent need for leaders to confront harm, reshape culture, and prioritise both physical and psychological safety.
