AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I might add that my staff have gone to some efforts to ensure that we have an answer. (1) As of 10 November 2011, 86 full-time equivalent staff were allocated to inspections and investigations of workplaces and/or accidents. This number includes three directors who are delegated the powers of an inspector. (2) In Perth, 77 inspectors; in Broome, one inspector; in Karratha, two inspectors; in Albany, one inspector; and in Bunbury, five inspectors. (3) As at 10 November 2011, WorkSafe had an approved establishment of 103 inspectors, including the directors with inspector delegations. As such, 17 positions are vacant—16 based in Perth and one in Bunbury. The duration of such vacancies cannot be determined in this time frame, given the limited notice of the question; however, I am happy to provide details at the next sitting date—or earlier, if the member really needs to know. Hon Jon Ford : That’s very generous! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The answer continues — (4) Three inspectors are employed on contracts. The remainder are permanent public sector employees. (5) The term for two of the contracts is three years with the possibility of an extension for a further two years. The term of the remaining contract is four years with the possibility of an extension for a further one year.
