The Tasmanian Government has confirmed that one Ashley Youth Detention Centre worker was temporarily stood down after clashing with inmates last month.

The incident, involving young offenders allegedly using makeshift glass weapons, has now been referred to the Commissioner for Police and the Department is also preparing an urgent report.

Premier Will Hodgman said workers had also made complaints to police and one had been told not to return to work while the investigation continued.

Mr Hodgman told Parliament he watched the CCTV footage of the incidents yesterday.

"Yes, it is of concern; yes, I share the concerns of the Minister; yes, I share the concerns of the Department of Health and Human Services who brought this matter to the Minister; and I share the concerns of all those involved in circumstances such as these," he said.

"All possible steps are being take to ensure safety in this facility.

"A staff member at the centre of our concerns has been asked not to attend the workplace until these matters are resolved through due and appropriate process and has agreed not to attend as requested."

The Premier has committed to releasing parts of a report into the incidents, due to be handed to the Human Services Minister tomorrow.
