WorkSafe Victoria has launched its inspector recruitment campaign, with roles available across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

 

WorkSafe’s Executive Director of Health and Safety, Ian Forsyth, said inspectors played a crucial role in ensuring Victorian workers returned home safe at the end of the day.

 

“Our main priority is to ensure the health and safety of Victorian workers is not compromised,” he said.

 

“We do this by checking in to see if employers are complying with the law, providing advice on how to make workplaces safer and undertaking enforcement action when necessary.”

 

“We’re looking for people with fantastic communication and problem solving skills and have the ability to work through difficult situations when they arise.”

 

Mr Forsyth said the WorkSafe inspectorate had an outstanding reputation with employers and health and safety representatives they deal with, which reflected their ability to develop and maintain strong relationships.

 

“We encourage those who are passionate about workplace health and safety and want to be part of a team that plays an important role in making Victorian workplaces the safest they’ve ever been to apply.”

 

WorkSafe inspector recruitment campaigns usually take place once a year and are advertised in major metropolitan and regional newspapers and online. Selection is extremely competitive.
