A case for advancing psychological health and safety along with equity, diversity, and inclusion

This paper summarizes the results from a 2018 nationwide study on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) with a focus on EDI as dimensions of health and safety (H&S) in the Canadian mining industry. The study found an alarming number of discrimination and harassment issues occurring in the mining industry and that poor management of these issues undermines the development of inclusive workplace strategies. Study findings have implications relevant to workplace psychological H&S legislation that is currently being adopted in many jurisdictions across Canada.
