(2) Does WorkSafe ACT or the ACT Work Safety Commissioner have the authority to enforce determinations made as a result of their investigations; if not, who has such authority.
(3) What is the anticipated duration of this investigation and when is the investigation expected to be completed.
(4) Were issues of non-compliance at Barnados found under four sections of Workplace Health and Safety legislation; if so, what were the issues, and under which sections of the legislation were they found to be non-compliant.
Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The investigation being undertaken by WorkSafe ACT is only focussed on Barnardos. The Community Services Directorate along with Child and Youth Protections Services are assisting WorkSafe ACT with the investigation. Both government agencies are not subject to the complaints WorkSafe ACT are investigating.
(2) The Work Health and Safety Commissioner as the statutory authority of the Office of the Work Health and Safety Commissioner has legislative delegations and authorisation to enforce appropriate regulatory sanctions against any entity identified contravening the Work Health and Safety legislation.
(3) The investigation is ongoing and any timings as to an anticipated finalisation would be premature to state at this time. WorkSafe ACT advises that the investigation is well advanced.
(4) WorkSafe ACT has requested information from Barnardos, through the Community Services Directorate that aligns with the nature of complaints received. WorkSafe ACT is focussed on Barnardos obligations under the provisions of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation primarily being Primary Duty of Care, Information and Training Induction and Consultation of staff/carers. The relevant sections of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 are Section 19 Duty of Care, Section 47 Duty to Consult (workers) and regulation 39 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011: Provision of information, training and instruction.
