Fair and Safe Work

1757. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Mines and Petroleum; Commerce and Industrial Relations; Electoral Affairs; Asian Engagement:

I refer to work undertaken at the Perth GPO Building in Forrest Place, and specifically to work on the H&M shop site, for the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2017, and I ask:

(a)  did Worksafe visit this site;

(b)  if yes, on what dates;

(c)  did Worksafe issue any improvement notices;

758. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Commerce and Industrial Relations:

I refer to the proposed establishment of an online portal through which members of the public can lodge anonymous complaints about unsafe work practices.

(1)  Is the minister supportive of this proposal?

(2)  If yes to (1), has any work begun on developing such a portal?

(3)  If no to (1), why not?
