We believe reducing workplace harm is 100% everyone’s responsibility.
Why? New Zealand continues to face an unacceptably high rate of workplace harm, affecting individuals, families and businesses across the country. Here’s the reality:
- 70 workers lost their lives to work-related injuries in 2024.
- 750-900 deaths annually from work-related health issues such as cancer and respiratory disease.
- 37,665 injuries resulted in more than a week away from work in the past year.
