Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The Work Safety Commissioner (the Commissioner) is appointed by a decision of the Executive in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 for a term of no more than seven years. A person may be reappointed for multiple terms.

In accordance with section 253 of the Legislation Act 2011, a function of the Executive may be exercised by two Ministers acting in concert. The incumbent Commissioner was appointed by the Chief Minister and Attorney-General.

(2) When the position was advertised in 2010, six applicants applied. In accordance with the principle 6 of the Information Privacy Act 2014, it would not be appropriate for me to disclose the personal information of individuals who applied for the position.

(3) The Work Safety Commissioner was appointed for five years. This appointment expired on 15 December 2015 and is being extended until 11 November 2016.

(4) Between 1 December 2014 and 1 December 2015, WorkSafe ACT carried out 2,779 worksite inspections.

(5) Businesses are identified for work safety inspections in two ways. A ‘reactive’ inspection is triggered in response to a reported incident or a complaint, and a ‘proactive’ inspection is triggered as part of a planned audit or inspection campaign.
