The harm presented by working in Australia’s mining sector has been a concern for a long time. Over the last decade or two, the psychosocial harm from the same work has come to the fore. The occupational health and safety (OHS) responsibility sits clearly with the employers who, in Australia, are often well-resourced national and international corporations.

SafetyAtWorkBlog took the opportunity to put some questions to the South Australia OHS agency, to which it has responded.
