[b]Work-related Injuries in New Zealand[/b]

Safety solutions are needed in New Zealand’s workplaces now more than ever. The latest figures from Stats NZ show that workplace injuries steadily increased from about 213,000 in 2012 to 233,000 in 2016. Cleaners, rubbish collectors and agricultural labourers face the highest risk of occupational harm.

One of the most common work hazards is an eye injury. WorkSafe New Zealand reveals that about 4,000 workers suffer eye injuries from their jobs every year. Many times, the employee is left with impaired vision. Some cases lead to permanent blindness.

WorkSafe assures workers, however, that most of these injuries are preventable. So, both businesses and the employees should work together to protect vision through effective, protective gear.
