SAWB - Quitting

In this audio version of a SafetyAtWorkBlog article (published 14 April 2026), OHS advisor and writer Kevin Jones argues that psychological harm at work isn’t a personal weakness—it’s a foreseeable workplace hazard that employers are required to control. He explores why many organisations still default to blaming individuals, why “consultation” often becomes empty theatre (especially when the source of harm is management or culture), and why quitting can sometimes be the only truly effective control measure available. With frank language, Kevin reframes leaving not as failure but as hazard elimination—best done deliberately through an exit plan that restores agency and helps people choose healthier workplaces next time.
