Congratulations to Lee Haynes, Exploration Manager Kambalda, on successfully completing a Graduate Certificate in Mining Workplace Safety through Edith Cowan University in Western Australia.
Lee was awarded a scholarship through Edith Cowan University, supported by the Western Australian Government’s Mining and Resources Sector (MARS) Program.
Lee’s participation supports Wyloo’s broader psychosocial risk management strategy, including building leadership capability to recognise and manage workplace factors that influence psychological health, safety and wellbeing.
Developed specifically for the Western Australian mining industry, the course focused on risk management, safety culture, and evidence-based approaches to wellbeing and workplace safety.
For Lee, the course provided an opportunity to build on his practical experience in safety leadership while gaining a deeper understanding of the research, systems and behaviours that help create safer workplaces.
“With a focus on respect at work, mine health and safety, and mental health and wellbeing, the course complemented my practical experience in safety leadership by providing a deeper understanding of the research, systems and behaviours that influence safe workplaces.
One of my key takeaways is that no safety process is ever perfect. Meaningful improvement comes from staying open to new ideas, continually learning, and creating an environment where people are supported to challenge and improve the way we work.”
Lee’s achievement reflects his commitment to strengthening safety culture through learning, leadership and collaboration. By combining practical experience with contemporary research and best practice, he is helping drive safer and healthier outcomes for our people and the wider mining industry.
