(b) The minimum number of inspectors located at the Collie office were:

(c) In 2009 the estimated hours worked by Collie office inspectors at sites in the Shire of Collie is not a statistic that can be calculated from current records.

Worsley Alumina, Wesfarmers Coal and Griffin Coal.
(d) In 2009 the estimated hours worked by Collie office inspectors at sites outside of the Shire of Collie is not a statistic that can be calculated from current records.
It is however possible to state that approximately 85% of the inspections undertaken in 2009 were conducted at the sites external to the Collie Shire.
(e) The budgeted hours for the eight (8) inspectors located at the Collie office in 2010 is 12,934 hours. This is on a 37.5 hour per week per FTE basis.
