Gender and safety in mining: Workshop planner series

Last updated: 03 April 2025

This workshop planner series responds to a number of cultural and human behavioural issues relating to gender that affect safety on mine sites.

The series has been developed in response to participant feedback in workshops involving resource sector employees throughout Western Australia. These workshops were conducted as part of the 2010 Mines and Exploration Safety Roadshows. The roadshow
workshops explored the notion of “toughness in mining”.
