What to do if you are injured in the workplace
Injuries happen when you least expect them and in the workplace there can be more hazards than at home.
So, it’s important that you get proper medical attention following an accident. This includes working with your employee to meet their health and safety standards.
All NZ employees are entitled to time off to recover from an injury. If you need a medical certificate we can provide you with one.
We’ll also make sure your ACC claim is lodged as a workplace incident.
How to ensure ACC covers your workplace injury
Fortunately, ACC recognises this and have set up a clear process to ensure you get the healthcare you need.
- Tell your employer that you’ve been injured
- This allows them to activate their health and safety and support you while you get urgent care
- An ACC claim will be lodged and a letter will be sent to your employer
- Our healthcare team can supply a letter for your work if you need time off or you require a change in usual duties.
Types of workplace injuries that might need urgent care
We see people with many tpes of workplace injuries. Come straight in from work if you have an injury or accident such as:
- a foreign body that need removal such as debris in your eyes or ears or a splinter or puncture
- fractures or broken bones
- sprains
- strains
- burns, including coming into contact with chemicals
- wound care and lacerations
If you or a collegue have a serious work injury that needs emergency care, call 111.
