SAWB - IWMD 2026
from SafetyAtWorkBlog Hosted by Kevin Jones
On April 28, 2026 — a day marked globally as International Workers’ Memorial Day or the World Day for Safety and Health at Work — the official theme was psychosocial harm, yet Australian political responses largely avoided discussing it. This episode looks at what governments chose to say, what they left unsaid, and why that silence matters, particularly given recent legal recognition of psychosocial hazards. Drawing on public statements, omissions, and shifts in focus toward enforcement and future technologies, this episode reflects on whether those responsible for preventing workplace psychological injury are genuinely prepared to address it, or whether uncomfortable risks are being quietly sidelined when they hit too close to home.
