From Policy to Practice: Building Psychosocial Safety That Actually Works

05 May 2026
Workshop , Workforce & HR Stream

Psychosocial safety is now a board-level risk, a workforce retention lever, and a regulatory obligation with real teeth. But what does effective management actually look like in practice on a mine site? This workshop brings together mining company leaders and workforce specialists to share what's working, what's failing, and what the regulatory landscape means for operators in 2026 and beyond. Facilitated by AREEA with a major mining company spokesperson leading the conversation, designed for operational leaders, HR directors, and safety professionals who need to move from framework to frontline. 

Audit your current psychosocial safety approach against the regulatory requirements and leave with one specific action to implement on your site within 30 days.
