Around 100 people die each year in New Zealand from work-related accidents, with farming, forestry, manufacturing and construction accounting for 70% of deaths. There were nearly 34,000 moderate to serious injuries at work last year. The Health and Safety in Employment Act of 1992 aims to prevent harm to employees and others in the work environment. It outlines responsibilities for employers, employees, contractors and principals to ensure a safe workplace. Common hazards on farms include tractors, ATVs, other machinery, animals and trees.
