Kia Ora, I'm a student researching occupational disease incidents and claims made by state schools such that not enough data is available to draw any relevant research findings. kindly, help if possible. Thanks, Sheril Mittal
Schools and education sector OHS data is often limited to Occupational safety where occupational health is equally at risk for teaching/non-teaching staff and more can be achieved if the spotlight is on this undercover risk factor. More research and intervention strategies may be worked on and implemented if transparency in health data relating to a relatively less explored industry is made avaialble.
Gaps in research and relevant data could be reduced.

ACC can provide data on injuries to all staff at schools but we do not have a way of identifying which are from state schools. Therefore ,we cannot answer your query. Please advise us at GovernmentServices.co.nz by 6 April 2021 if you would like to receive ACC data on injuries to staff (not just teachers) at schools.
