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 latest evidence on occupational health and safety (OHS) in the context of working from home. Drawing on recent research and expert commentary, this discussion examines the rise of hybrid work arrangements in Australia, their impact on productivity, and the broader socioeconomic benefits—especially for parents, individuals with health conditions, and those facing barriers to onsite work. The episode highlights findings from both Australian and international studies, including insights into workforce participation, challenges of mentorship, and the value that workers place on flexibility.
It also examines the psychosocial factors associated with remote work, such as mental health, wellbeing, and autonomy, and considers the obligations these create under OHS regulations. Listeners will gain a balanced perspective on how remote and hybrid work are reshaping traditional workplaces and what this means for the future of work and safety.
