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 unpacks a heated parliamentary exchange over workers’ compensation premiums in New South Wales, revealing a deeper crisis in workplace mental health. While political leaders debate costs and reforms, the conversation sidesteps the root causes: rising psychological injury claims, structural workplace stressors, and ineffective well-being programs. The discussion challenges compliance-driven approaches and explores bold alternatives—arguing that economic pressure might be the catalyst employers need to prioritise mentally healthy work environments. With insights into policy gaps, cultural inertia, and the true cost of neglect, this episode calls for courage, not just cleverness, in reshaping Australia’s safety landscape.
