Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety in the mining industry – The Landmark Study: A review and synthesis of the literature

Abstract

The Landmark Study (LMS) was commissioned by the Western Australian Government to design and implement a research and evaluation project focused on the mining industry, regarding three focus areas: 1) mental health and well-being, 2) sexual harassment, assault and a respectful culture, and 3) the future of work in mining to improve mental health, well-being, culture and respect. This report is submitted as the first part of Preliminary Report 2 – a literature review which provides an overview and synthesis of the current literature concerning the three focus areas. Findings from this report will be used to further inform the subsequent efforts of the MARS LMS, and will be included in the Preliminary Report 2B. This report was prepared by CTWD. Chapters 1 and 3 were authored by CTWD, Chapter 2 was authored by the Curtin School of Population Health.
