On average, 75 people per year die on the
job, one in 10 is harmed and 600-900 die
from work-related diseases—all coming
at a cost of $3.5 billion per year. These
statistics don’t even begin to cover the
social and psychological costs on friends,
family, loved ones and co-workers of these
people hurt on the job.
With the recent changes to the Health and
Safety Work Act it is simply not enough
to carry on with business as usual and
dismiss these statistics as a “It will never
happen to me, or in my business”. As an
employer, manager or any other type
of PCBU you have a legal obligation as
well as a moral one to your employees
and customers to fully understand your
responsibilities and the risks associated
with running your business and to actively
engage a plan to reduce this risk as far
as you are able.
The consequences of not sufficiently
fulfilling these obligations could not
only cost you valued employees but
also significantly affect your ability to
continue to run your business due to
production/ service down time, reduced
resources and the potential risk of being
prosecuted in court.
