At least 109 BHP workers sexually harassed colleagues in a single year, mining company says

The Australian mining giant BHP has disclosed that at least 109 of its workers engaged in sexually harassing colleagues within a single year, as revealed in the company's annual report. This figure includes 104 allegations that were investigated, while 105 others were not due to insufficient information or the wishes of the impacted person, according to the report.

The harassment cases, which included instances of indecent touching, stalking, and grooming, resulted in several workers losing their jobs or resigning. The disclosure comes amid heightened scrutiny of remote work sites, where female workers across the industry have been raising allegations of systemic sexual harassment, violence, and retaliation.
