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.

Join me, Kevin Jones, I share a candid audio summary reflecting on a recent webinar about psychological safety in the workplace.
In this episode, I critique the dominance of HR concepts and pop psychology in safety discussions, highlighting the lack of focus on legal obligations and genuine psychosocial hazards. I explore the need for better integration between OHS and HR, especially as new psychosocial regulations emerge, and calls for more rigorous research and collaboration to address workplace mental health risks.
Tune in for honest insights on the state of workplace safety culture, the challenges of Safe Work Month, and why psychosocial safety is more than just best practice—it’s a legal requirement.
