WorkSafe have released their latest report providing an overview of work-related fatalities, injuries, and factors associated with ill health in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is based on data collected or produced by WorkSafe New Zealand, ACC, and Stats NZ, as of June 2023.
Key topics in the report include:
· trends in the number and rate of work-related fatalities and injuries
· exposures at work that raise the risk of injury and/or ill health
· industries and workers with greater risk of injury or ill health.
The report is grouped into five categories of harm and risk:
· Injuries resulting from a single traumatic event
· Carcinogens and airborne risks
· Musculoskeletal risks
· Work organisation and environmental risks
· Psychosocial risks
This information will help achieve shared understanding of the most important causes of work-related harm and what needs to improve for work in Aotearoa New Zealand to be healthier and safer.
