A reminder that it is important and a responsibility to report any of the following to your supervisor and Enterprise Recruitment consultant as soon as practicable:

Hazard – an object or event which is an actual or potential cause of injury.

Near Miss – an incident which did not result in injury, illness or damage, but could have potentially done so.

Accident – any incident which resulted in ANY injury, illness or damage.

Serious Harm – an incident resulting in death or permanent or temporary severe loss of bodily function, amputation of body part, burns requiring referral to a specialist medical practitioner or specialist outpatient clinic, loss of consciousness from lack of oxygen. Any harm that causes the person harmed to be hospitalised for a period of 48 hours or more commencing within seven days of the harm’s occurrence.

Any “ Near Miss ” occurrences must be reported within 24hrs of the event.

Any “ Accident ” needs to be reported as soon as possible but within 24 hours.

Any “ Serious Harm ” needs to be reported immediately.

Watch this Enterprise safety video and answer this question correctly and be in the drawer to win a $50 prezzie card.

ACC has commenced the ACC Non Work contract with Enterprise Recruitment meaning that from now on our employees have the option for non work related injuries to be managed by our third party provider Wellnz.

Numerous studies have not only confirmed that work is good for us, but those of us who return to work promptly and safely after an injury, have better rehabilitation outcomes.

It is also obvious that employers play a central role in rehabilitating injured employees through being supportive and providing safe and sustainable alternatives work duties.

ACC has therefore adopted a different approach to managing non-work injuries through utilising the knowledge and relationship Wellnz has with Enterprise.

Fruit and Vegetables are such an amazing source of energy to fuel us, and of nutrients to keep us healthy, that we really can't get enough of them! The recommended guidelines for how much to eat in NZ are '5+ servings of F&V per day'. This can be broken down further, to 2 servings of Fruit and 3+ servings of Vegetables.
