Safe Work shows harassment stats
Authorities have released new data and resource on workplace sexual harassment.
One in three people have experienced sexual harassment at work in the last five years, according to Safe Work Australia.
The authority is reminding employers that WHS laws require persons conducting a business or undertaking to do all they reasonably can to prevent sexual harassment from occurring at work, just like other risks to health and safety.
This infographic shows the scale of the issues.
Safe Work Australia has also released a new guide containing detailed information on how to prevent sexual harassment at work and how to respond if it does happen.
The guide is accessible here.
