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

BHP, the Australian mining company, has disclosed that at least 109 of its workers sexually harassed colleagues in a single year, according to the company's annual report. The report also revealed that 104 of these allegations were not investigated due to a lack of sufficient information or the wishes of the impacted individuals.

The incidents, which included instances of indecent touching, stalking, and grooming, led to 100 workers losing their jobs or resigning during the last financial year. The disclosures come amid heightened scrutiny of remote work sites, where female workers have raised allegations of systemic sexual harassment, violence, and retaliation.
