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 examines Australia’s current focus on Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) in workplace safety reform, questioning whether this emphasis accurately reflects the diversity of Australian workplaces. It highlights concerns about the lack of comprehensive national data on HSRs, the potential for survey bias, and the need for a more inclusive, evidence-based consultation approach that considers non-union workers, small businesses, and sectors where HSRs are less common. The discussion encourages a broader perspective on occupational health and safety, advocating for reforms that reshape workplace culture by listening to all voices, not just the most prominent.
