Why are our workplace death tolls higher than other countries?
from RNZ - All Programmes
Would it surprise you to learn that New Zealand's workplace fatality rates are way higher than other developed countries? And by way higher - we mean twice the rate of Australia and five times that of the UK. That's according to the annual ACC injury report that came out in the last few days. To discuss why and what could be done to change our death and injury rates, Emile is joined by Chris Peace. Chris has worked in the risk management space across New Zealand and the UK, and is currently an Occupational Health and Safety lecturer at Victoria University [picture id="4KSVBFJ_2024_03_23_CPP_001811_edited_b_jpg" crop="16x10" layout="full"]
