12 WORKSAFE NEW ZEALAND Our year in review
OUR <strong>PERFORMANCE</strong> STORY 2015 13 Fewer people are being killed at work, but still far too many Each year in New Zealand 50 to 60 people die on the job 1 . The chart below shows the provisional number of worker fatalities: 48 in 2014/15 2 . Figures have been slightly lower in the past few years, possibly due to the increased attention on workplace health and safety in New Zealand, particularly after the Pike River tragedy. In 2012 the Government set targets for reducing New Zealand’s high rates of workplace harm. The targets are to reduce workplace fatalities, serious injuries (eg hospitalisations), and injuries requiring more than a week off work by 10% by 2016 and 25% by 2020. Recent results have been mixed: rates of fatalities and serious injuries have been decreasing slightly while the rate of injuries involving more than a week off work has not followed this pattern. New Zealand clearly has more work to do to bring the work toll down. For more information, see Working Safer: Progress toward the target and pages 49-51.
