1154726 2010-11-21 01:08:00 Link? Is it a higher percentage of workers or just more workers? Maybe people just complain about little things these days to get ACC compensation.

I'm not trying to start an argument, just saying that there must have been something to start all this "PC gibberish".

Like you darkstar09 I’m curious about the OSH Industry v ACC statistics.

So I went looking and came up with the following:

www.imagef1.net.nz

Remember these are only Work Related claims:

Note how in the year 07/99 to 06/2000 there were 5609 Claims.

And in the year 07/2008 to 06/2009 there were 27,116 Claims. :eek:

So in 10 years, Work Related Claims have escalated 21,507 for the relative time period. (1 year) :eek:

Am I to assume then that all the OSH BS isn’t working, in fact quite the reverse. :confused: 		B.M. (505)

In 07/99 to 06/2000 there were 5609 claims, the following year 07/2000 to 06/2001 there were 20,486. Why was there such a huge jump? :illogical

Also, it has remained quite regular from 07/2001-06/2002 up to 07/2008-06/2009. In fact it has dropped from a peak of 29,310 in the year 07/2006-06/2007.

Your statement can't really be classified as true, as before 1999 it may have been at 20,000ish making 07/99-06/2000 an irregular year. When was ACC established? 		xyz823 (13649)

Do you think they are saying something ? 		Digby (677)
1154729 2010-11-21 02:05:00 I know. Lets send Digby and BM down there!


Ok, where's my airfare and what's they pay like ?

Notice also how the cost of the claims actually is less then the year before even though there is a massive increase in new claims.

So my guess is they changed the way the defined whatever it is they are counting to come up with whatever those figures are, as without some explanation to put them into context they are meaningless.Thinking about it I'd say they probably started to get every doctor and hospital in the country to log every visit they got that they could possibly put on their books.

Though I am amused anyone is stupid enough to claim doing things as dangerous as possible with no rescue plan or knowledge of what they are doing leads to a safer workplace. 		Metla (12)

Sounds about right.

Exactly. Retards who think they are indestructible. They whinge and moan about all the safety stuff, then when someone dies, they whinge and moan that safety wasn't emphasised enough! 		xyz823 (13649)

I guess thats a major differance between you and the guys involved in the rescue. Do you think everyone involved does it for the money? 		coldfront (15814)

I agree, there is something that doesn't seem quite right there but I've no idea how ACC do their accounting and given their recent history nor do they.

However, in answer to you question as to when ACC was established, I think you'll find 1974 is the answer.

One thing for sure though, there are a lot more accidents these days than there were 30 years ago. Maybe back then if we fell off our bike, our horse, or the roof, we just dusted ourselves off and got back on. :D 		B.M. (505)

No data from 1974-1998 then? 		xyz823 (13649)
