The oldest - and youngest - are most at risk of injury in the workplace
2 August 2018
New figures from Stats NZ show ACC had one-hundred-and-one workplace injury
claims in 2017, for every 1000, full-time equivalent staff.
Workers over 75 were almost twice as likely to be injured as the average
worker.
They were also almost five times as likely to suffer a serious injury.
Young workers were also significantly more likely to suffer an injury on the
job.
