There are 19 Respect in Mining tools for mining companies to use, including guidance for implementation and monitoring change in workplace culture.
Developed by Curtin University’s Collaboration for Evidence, Research and Impact in Public Health, the resources aim to help mining companies stamp out unacceptable behaviour towards women in the sector.
Respect in Mining is a partnership program between the Department of Communities and Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety, as an initiative of the Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety (MARS) Program.
The program supports mining companies to set clear policies and procedures for expected behaviours and how to identify and appropriately respond to incidents of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace.
The new tools and resources are part of a comprehensive strategy to make women feel safer working in the resources sector, with the SPEAK UP, REPORT IT campaign and WorkSafe WA’s 24/7 hotline 1800 678 198 launched last month.
