Metal Manufacturing Industry
Health & Safety Leadership Initiative

WORKSAFE MATTERS ACC6458

WORKSAFE MATTERS
Effective health and safety performance involves more than
just having a management plan and systems. It requires the
commitment and involvement of everyone in the workplace,
and it involves knowledge and practices at all levels and the full
integration of health and safety in everyday behaviour.

WORKSAFE MATTERS ACC6458

Metal Manufacturing Industry
Health and Safety Leadership Initiative
ACC, in partnership with the Ministry of Business, Innovation
and Employment’s Metal Industry Safety Group, has developed
a health and safety leadership initiative to focus on reducing
injuries in the workplace.
WorkSafe Matters targets those leaders responsible for the
implementation of health and safety practices within the
workplace.
The resources and promotions consist of a range of
programmes that includes a combination of coaching and
practical resources that will support the integration of health and
safety into normal day-to-day business management practices.

 Metal manufacturing facts
– Did You Know?
Metal manufacturing is recognised as a high-risk industry and
has the second-highest injury rate within the manufacturing
sector. The effects of these injuries have significant impacts
on workplace productivity and individuals and their families.
The greatest losses are human, but injuries also result in
a financial cost – to the business, the individual and all
New Zealanders.
Metal manufacturing employs 3% of the working population
yet is responsible for 6% of all new work claims and 6% of
all entitlement claim costs. Based on injury figures for 2012,
there is an average of 104 injuries reported each month.

WORKSAFE MATTERS ACC6458

Industry collaboration
to reduce injuries
Manufacturing Sector Action Plan 2013, implemented through
partnerships and relationships (reference: www.dol.govt.nz):
• Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(formerly Department of Labour)
• Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC)
• Heavy Engineering Research Association (HERA)
• New Zealand Amalgamated Engineering
& Paper Union Inc (EPMU)
• Industry workplace representatives (medium to large industries)
• Puataunofo – Pacific Island Manufacturing Group.

WORKSAFE MATTERS ACC6458

WorkSafe Matters
• Injuries are preventable, and everybody has a role to
ensure that they go home injury free each day.
• The aim is to engage management and those
responsible for health and safety and to support
health and safety in the workplace.
• A range of existing health and safety management
programmes, resources and services is
available to support workplaces to develop and
implement safe workplace practices.

WORKSAFE MATTERS ACC6458

EVERYONE LEADS CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENTS: “MAKE ONE

very different to ensure that you go home safely.
• Desired actions: take personal responsibility for WorkSafe
practices, aim to reduce harm and injuries:
–Set
– high personal standards

accomplishments and to learn from each other.

reward for effort will reinforce desired
behaviours for individuals and teams.

demonstrating safe practices and helping others.
