Working with Workplace Standards Tasmania
WorkCover Tasmania and Workplace Standards Tasmania often provide services to the same clients. The work of both organisations needs to be co-operatively linked (where appropriate), and undertaken with a clear understanding and agreement about the roles and responsibilities each has when providing services to Tasmanian workplaces.
This is a working agreement to be implemented at all levels in both organisations. It covers:
- roles and responsibilities of the WorkCover Advisory Service and the Workplace Standards Inspectorate
- communication between the two organisations
- protocols for Advisory Service and Inspectorate program development
- organisational policy and legislative obligations
- training
- dispute resolution
- review processes
- joint management
- information sharing
