Mining companies accused of corporate failure in shocking WA FIFO sexual harassment report

A West Australian parliamentary committee has urged the state’s resources sector to consider a register for perpetrators of serious sexual harassment on fly-in, fly-out sites similar to a working with children check.

“The threats or loss of their livelihood that resulted was shattering and it’s completely inexcusable. “The failure of companies to understand what was happening in their workplaces must be seen as a sign of corporate failure. In one case a woman had a near-miss incident with a haul truck she was driving and told the committee the site supervisor said he would make the safety investigation “go away” if she had sex with him.

“The committee is surprised that the key regulator of this enormous industry could appear to be satisfied that these figures represented a realistic picture of the problem.” “We considered the value of establishing a register of offenders that could be accessed as part of the employment process – something like the Safety White Card or the Working with Children Card,” it said.

“While merely ‘adding more women’ to the mix is not enough to remedy cultural problems, mining companies need to improve the gender balance in their workplaces,” the report said.
