Everyone can be a Work Scene Investigator. Here are investigations that will uncover the 'secrets' of the workplace. Read your rights, follow the money trail, look for evidence and protect your life!
WSI #1 - Avoiding the pay day rip off
Lesson number one for all Work Scene Investigators is pay - how often, how much and what are the extra benefits? Get out your note books and test your knowledge about everything related to the money you receive in exchange for the work you do.
WSI #2 - Know your rights
Everyone has rights at work. This Work Scene Investigation will help you understand what they mean for you.
WSI #3 - Explore your dream job
Everyone has different opinions. Your dream job might be someone else's nightmare job. Your nightmare job might be their dream job. How do you find what's right for you?
WSI #4 - New Work Laws
This Work Scene Investigation will help you understand the new work laws introduced by the government.
WSI #5 - Union Job line up
Which union acts for which job?
WSI #6 - Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Industries
You've heard of primary, secondary and tertiary education. Did you know there are primary, secondary and tertiary industries? After you've done this Work Scene Investigation, you'll be an expert at identifying different industries.
WSI #7 - Life and death at work
Health and safety at work is a matter of life and death. Every year hundreds of Australians die or are seriously injured at work. This Work Scene Investigation will help you recognise potential Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) traps at work.
WSI #8 - Fashion statements
Fashion and self-expression can clash with the demands of the working life. Your favorite tattoo, your shiny new body piercing or your radical hair style might draw more attention than you bargained for at work. This Work Scene Investigation looks at how far workplace appearance rules can go.
WSI #9 - Watching the clock
It's time to investigate different hours of work. What is full-time, part-time and casual work? After this Work Scene Investigation you'll be able to spot the tell tale signs of 'dodgy' job ads.
