Psychosocial hazards — from poor change management to isolated work — are now a regulatory and operational priority across mining and industrial workplaces. Here's how Co Connect's features map to each hazard, based on real deployments across remote sites.
NSW has passed the Work Health and Safety Amendment (Digital Work Systems) Act 2026 — for the first time in Australian law, employers carry a legal duty of care over how digital systems design and distribute work. The Act identifies four risk areas for any organisation using AI, automation or algorithmic management:
The Act also contains a national harmonisation trigger — once Safe Work Australia moves on equivalent model laws, the Minister must review. Every state and territory should be watching NSW closely. Choosing workforce technology that keeps people informed, in control and treated fairly is now a compliance question, not just good practice.
