Megan Main: ACC CEO on the impact of workplace and accidental injuries on the economy

ACC hopes the economic toll of workplace and accidental injuries can be brought under control.  It's latest injuries report shows $3.1 billion was spent on weekly compensation last year.  It estimates there was $8.7 billion in lost productivity.  Chief Executive Megan Main told Mike Hosking they're improving recovery times through earlier intervention, but reducing the overall cost of injuries will require a wider effort.  She says every Kiwi needs to be thinking carefully about how not to get injured, and employers need to support people back to work.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
