A tune-up is on the way for Victorian transport and safety authorities.

Premier Daniel Andrews says a new review of WorkSafe and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) will look for ways to improve their effectiveness.

The Government is “committed to WorkSafe's head office relocation” and the review will “consider WorkSafe's relocation to Geelong to ensure that appropriate decisions are made when implementing this change”, Andrews said.

James MacKenzie - Chief Executive of TAC from 1994-97, and Chairman of TAC and WorkSafe Victoria from 2000 to 2007 - will conduct the review.

The first report from Mr MacKenzie is expected by the middle of this year.

“Victoria continues to have the safest workplaces of any State in Australia, with injury rates improving over the past decade to a record low of 7.37 injury claims per million hours worked in 2013-14,” Andrews said.

“WorkSafe will continue to reduce workplace injuries through public awareness campaigns, workplace inspections and by consulting with workers and employers to identify the next set of health and safety improvements.”

Worksafe has only just been brought back following a change of government in Victoria, which saw the form Victorian WorkCover Authority moved under the WorkSafe banner.

“Since it was launched in 2001, WorkSafe has made its mark through powerful awareness and advertising campaigns and the highly-visible presence of inspectors who make over 40,000 workplace visits every year,” Minister for Finance Robin Scott said.

“It made no sense to tear up the proud name of a world-renowned organisation that's helped save so many lives.

“The Trades Hall Council worked hard to bring this change around. They will continue working with Worksafe to ensure safety at work for all Victorians,” he said.
