Watchdog identifies 'psychological harm' at world's largest lithium mine

Key points

• Western Australia's work safety regulator has issued an improvement notice to Talison Lithium after a survey found workers at its Greenbushes mine were exposed to psychosocial hazards. The survey identified excessive work demands, inadequate resourcing, and poor work conditions as factors causing significant psychological harm.
• Talison employs over 1,500 workers at the site, which produces about 20 per cent of the world's lithium.
• The company's CEO has apologised to staff and said it is working to address the issues.
