What work will I be doing?

You will undertake a course at TAFE in occupational health and safety or another approved course and be given time to attend and to do assignments in paid work time.

In addition, you will experience a number of placements across a range of work areas which may involve a lot of time at our head office at Rosny. Placements at other Workplace Standards Tasmania offices may also be considered. If you are placed away from your normal office location, accommodation, meals and a small allowance will be provided for these times.

During your placements, you will be shown the work we do and provided with further insight, explanation and where possible experience in assisting with this. This will include accompanying inspectors into the field and may involve travel to other parts of the state. Personal protective equipment and clothing will be issued as necessary.

We will aim to develop you for a future career with us through grassroots exposure to our broad responsibility areas and through ongoing training and skills development.

Your duties and responsibilities will be to assist with

• investigation and compliance activities

• research and administrative duties relating to any area of responsibility of WST

• preparation of written correspondence and reports 

• project work 

• coordinating meetings including materials, administrative support, taking notes and minutes
