WorkSafe believes that every worker should have a workplace free from harm to their health and safety. WorkSafe inspectors play a pivotal role promoting safety within workplaces. Prior to coming to WorkSafe, our inspectors have worked in industries like construction, mining, retail, manufacturing, logistics, education and healthcare and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience.
All new inspectors undergo a foundation training program before being mentored by experienced inspectors. Following the successful completion of their training, the new inspectors are assigned to teams based on their area of expertise.
An inspector’s duties are diverse. They inspect workplaces, investigate incidents and fatalities, undertake project work, develop industry-specific health and safety content, attend industry events, deliver safety presentations at field days and expos, and engage with current and future workers. Every day is unique, offering inspectors opportunities to hone their skills in communication, analysis and negotiation as they navigate sensitive and complex situations. They are offered specialised training to develop and enhance their skillsets and are supported by the managers and directors as part of their career development.
Whilst inspectors are assigned to specific teams, they also collaborate across teams to ensure effective work outcomes. Being part of a team allows them to form good working relationships with colleagues who also share their passion for making a difference within the Western Australian workforce.
