Fortescue Metals Group says it will comply with orders to hand over sexual harassment documents. 

Last week, WorkSafe WA charged Fortescue with 34 counts of refusing or failing to provide documents to an inspector. 

Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) says it will hand over documents detailing over 30 allegations of sexual harassment to the workplace safety watchdog, but will redact names.

The company said it would “not be pushed into breaking the law or releasing the private information of our teammates without their knowledge and consent”.

“We will continue to work and collaborate with WorkSafe, as we always have, to ensure our people always feel safe to speak up,” it said in a statement.

“The Board continues to be united in the approach we are taking, and the culture and values of the company have never been stronger.”

Initially, FMG took a stance that was at odds with the other major players in WA's mining sector, with Rio Tinto, BHP and Woodside all reportedly handing over documents as part of WorkSafe’s investigation of sexual harassment on mine sites.
