Manny Mason from the City of Ballarat has been named Health and Safety Representative of the Year in the 2025 WorkSafe Awards. The win recognised Mason’s ability to combine empathy with assertive advocacy to ensure a vulnerable worker was protected and supported through a traumatic experience. Holding the employer accountable to their legal obligations and advocating for the worker’s safe return to work, his actions set a precedent for how such matters should be handled across the organisation. This video provides insight into Mason’s achievements.
