Or do I have to ask?
Under Part 9 of the 2004 OHS Act, any inspector who enters a workplace must give a report of the visit directly to the representative of any affected Designated Work Group/s.
This must be done when the inspector leaves the workplace, or as soon as practicable after leaving it. The inspector should not give the report to the employer and expect/request that this be passed on to any concerned OHS reps. The report must be in writing and must include:
- the time of entry and departure; and
- the purpose of the entry; and
- a description of the things done while at the place; and
- a summary of the inspector’s observations while at the place; and
- the procedure for contacting the Authority and the inspector for further details of the entry; and
- the procedure for seeking review of any decision made by the inspector during the entry.
