Workplace inspectors will carry out a month-long safety blitz of amusement rides at Queensland theme parks after four people died at Dreamworld.

Queensland Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace said safety auditors will start at Dreamworld on Saturday and inspect Wet'n'Wild, Sea World, Aussie World, Australia Zoo and Movie World before the end of November.

"This is about protecting visitors to our theme parks and restoring public confidence in Queensland's prime tourism assets ahead of the busy Christmas holiday season," Ms Grace said in a statement on Saturday.
