What Do I Need To Do?
The transition from "Physical Safety First" to "Whole-Person Safety" is the biggest regulatory shift in mining for a generation. Here is your roadmap.
Identify
Hazards
Psychosocial hazards in mining aren't just "feelings." They are systemic operational conditions. You must document:
Assess the
Exposure
How frequent and severe are these signals? In mining, a 2% reporting rate for harassment is a major indicator of high risk.
The Assessment Gap
Surveys are lagging indicators. You need concurrent data. If your risk register is empty, you haven't identified the risks—you've merely suppressed the reporting.

Implement
PsychProof
Control risk by automating the evidence loop. PsychProof provides the infrastructure for "Reasonable Steps."
- Digital Magic Links for remote logging.
- Automatic AI Triage of incoming reports.
- Immediate escalations for Critical Hazards.
- Immutable audit trail for board reporting.

The "Witnessed"
Advantage
PsychProof doesn't just store data. Every entry in the WHS Evidence Loop is a cryptographically witnessed event. For mining executives, this is the difference between a "self-serving internal memo" and a "legally defensible record of care."

Do Mining & Resources businesses legally need a psychosocial risk register?
No—the law mandates the **Management of Hazards**, not a specific document name. However, the legal standard of **Reasonable Practicability** is impossible to meet without transparent documentation. PsychProof turns your on-site management into a witness-able audit trail, providing the Board with the concrete evidence required to defend their Duty of Care.
How does this differ from our existing EAP surveys?
EAP surveys are wellness benefits, not compliance governance. They usually collect aggregate data once or twice a year. PsychProof enables 'Contemporaneous Evidence'—real-time records of management actions, consultations, and controls that are audit-ready every day.
Can this integrate with our physical WHS software?
Yes. PsychProof acts as the 'High-Precision Sentinel' for the psychosocial layer. We provide structured exports and API-ready data that can feed into your broader WHS reporting ecosystem while maintaining the privacy and sensitivity required for mental health data.
