The end of October sees the end of Safe Work Month in Australia, and this year’s theme has been powerful: Safety is Everyone's Business.

Losing a key safety leader can bring an entire organisation’s safety culture to a standstill, leaving teams vulnerable and standards slipping. This month we’re diving into the hidden dangers of a safety ‘key person risk’, with some ideas about how organisations can overcome it.

It's true: effective leadership can make or break your approach to managing psychosocial hazards. So how can you build leadership capability to help mitigate these hazards?

The little things that can have a big impact on your next safety campaign.

We know the world of safety and wellbeing isn’t static. At Everyday Massive we’re always looking for ways to meet the moment, and oftentimes this has us looking at what’s happening across the globe.

So let’s take a look at three of those trends we observe are currently having a big impact on safety.

Engagement in the health and safety industry isn't just a buzzword—it's the key to a thriving, safe, and productive workplace. But here’s the kicker: how do you get folks to genuinely care about safety in an industry otherwise seen as straight laced and rule-bound?

As we approach World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workers’ Memorial Day on 28 April, we have a chance to stop thinking about what we’re doing, and take a moment to reflect on why we do it.

In this edition of Massive Insights, we’re exploring the safety experience in Australian high-risk industries…

We marked 2024 as our year of commissioning market research at Everyday Massive.

We’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredible secondary research sources over the years, and seen comprehensive internal research undertaken by our collaborators. For a broader view of safety sentiment in Australian high-risk industries, we decided to gather some primary research.

Without curiosity, human civilisation simply couldn’t have advanced. There’d be no penicillin without Jennings’ poking mould in a Petri dish, no moon landing without generations staring into the stars, and probably no advancements in workplace safety without someone mildly obsessing over why their workers kept getting injured.

At EM, we love a good reflection. It gives us the opportunity to see our progress and celebrate our successes.
Looking back, we can finally realise just how much of a MASSIVE year it’s been. 
But, before we switch off the lights for the final time this year, we want to share some of our top highlights with you — as well as a message from our CEO, Tim.

As the most sought-after title of the EM year, the Bec Scully Memorial Cup (BSMC) is an afternoon of highly competitive, always amusing, and sometimes spicy, croquet held in memory of our good friend Bec — a teammate who was lost all too early to cancer.

When we talk to leaders in high-risk industries, they often express their biggest fear is a workplace fatality, or worse, another workplace fatality.

At Everyday Massive, our team's wellness is a core focus within our culture.
This year, we headed to Ella’s Farm — an off grid organic permaculture farm, located in the Northern Rivers, Bundjalung Nation.

Australia is a known world leader in workplace health and safety (WHS). In our experience of working with hundreds of collaborators over the years, the organisations putting WHS at the centre of operations tend to make the biggest gains.

What if Managing workplace Health and Safety risks and preventing harm could boil down to engaging the people doing the work?

Psychological safety exists when people feel they will not be punished or put down for speaking up with ideas, questions or concerns.

Long-term collaborator and safety leader Sarah Cuscadden chats to EM about tackling injuries at work during National Safe Work Month.

National Safe Work Month is an opportunity to talk about the safety experience with some of our favourite collaborators.

There are two things that get us truly fired up at Everyday Massive: transforming the employee experience through human connection, and the queen of games: croquet.
