Editor's Notes
- Describe
- The Towards 2020 report cataloguing progress to the Government’s 25% reduction was recently released – copies on our website. While report shows we are under the 2020 target for fatalities as at the end of 2015 – which is the last available official data from Stats NZ, the recent decline appears to be plateauing. We need to maintain focus to make sure we do stay under the target rate of a 25% reduction by 2020 .
- These are ONLY workplace incidents and do not include work health-related deaths
- These figures are official Stats NZ figures – they lag a year behind so the most recent official data is at the end of 2015. Although this indicator has been gradually increasing since 2011, the current quarter sees a slowing of this increase. Our predictive modelling – that’s the SWIFT estimate dotted line suggests that this rate will remain at a similar level for 2016. That will become officially clear when we get the official 2016 outcome from Stats NZ around November this year
- We’ve got some figures from 2010 which will give you an idea of what’s happening in the health area and agriculture. They’re definitely not statistics and they only relate to airborne substance exposure and they are far from the total burden of work-related health deaths. In ag, the key elements of these airborne exposures are pesticides, insecticides, fertilisers, other chemicals, dust and engine exhausts But across ag in 2010 – 97 health-related deaths - compared with 185 in construction, 137 in manufacturing and 91 in other industries. For ag, that makes the rate of deaths per 100,000 in 2010 89 – the second highest behind construction We’re working at getting better data but it’s a long and complicated job, as much because it can be hard to attribute a death to specific exposure decades earlier as anything. This material gives you a flavour of what work-related issues are killing in agriculture and its likely the causes are not that different now.
- So bearing in mind the frailties of the estimation process, we think that for JUST 2014 and 2015, the total social cost of work related fatalities including those work health fatalities we can isolate was around 189.2 million dollars
- For those same two years – 2014 and 2015 – now lets add ACC’s costing for agricultural industries – another nearly 177 million dollars
- You need to be focusing on this incidents with the potential to cause a severe injury or fatality – your critical risks
- 8am to 9am – been up for a while, lacking energy – keep yourself fed 5pm to 7pm – long, arduous days on the farm – you’re tied and your judgement’s not good
- Businesses must develop stronger worker engagement and participation practices to allow their people to easily share ideas and information, raise issues or concerns, and contribute to decision making about health and safety. Workers though must also take reasonable care of their own health and safety, ensuring their actions don’t cause harm to others. But good worker engagement gives workers the mandate to speak up when something isn’t healthy or safe in the knowledge that they’ll be listened to and their views valued, and, critically, that action will be taken. If you’re operating on risk ID, engagement’s different Workers spot the problem before it becomes serious That’s when we need the discussion – before there’s an incident Two way dialogue Critical risks approach means different engagement We do have to review what we mean by engaging your staff. It is much more than simply talking with them. It is about enabling meaningful two-way dialogue. It is about recognising that the workforce is closer to the potential problems than management is – they can spot emerging issues, and if we enable good dialogue, we can take the problem away before it becomes a statistic
