Occupational Injuries
These are any injuries that occur in the workplace.
They may result from a single trauma or a repetitive loading over a period of time. Repetitive Injuries / Occupational Overuse (also known as Repetitive Strain Disorder) may be covered by ACC. When referred by a GP, they will need to submit forms to ACC in order to establish if the injury will be covered. Our qualified staff will also help ensure that ACC coverage is obtained for the treatment of occupational injuries.
A lot of occupational injuries can be prevented by applying correct ergonomics. Gerard Guillen, Focus Health Director, performs worksite assessments for Hawkes Bay employers.
