Employee of the Month – November 🎉

Big congratulations to Margaret Savage, our well-deserved Employee of the Month!

Nominated by Donna Corboy and enthusiastically seconded (and thirded!) by Cushla Howie and Catherine Marshall, Margaret has truly earned this recognition.

Margaret works away quietly in the background with a constant smile on her face, consistently demonstrating the qualities that make her an invaluable member of the team. She is always helpful, willing to go the extra mile, and especially supportive of colleagues who travel long distances to work in the Invercargill area. Her pleasant attitude and welcoming manner put both staff and clients at ease.

She is a consistently positive team player who regularly supports operations by collecting staff from the airport, stepping in at short notice when cover is needed, and helping new team members settle in. Her kindness, approachability, and genuine care for others make her a pleasure to work with.

In addition to her personal qualities, Margaret is also highly organised, diligent, and reliable in her role as Clinical Administrator. She consistently delivers high-quality work, pays close attention to detail, and goes above and beyond for both clients and her colleagues.

🌟 Congratulations, Margaret — this recognition is very well deserved!

From Noise to Fatigue — Why Integrated Health Monitoring Matters

Workplace health risks don’t exist in isolation. Noise, dust, chemicals, vibration, and fatigue often overlap—so your monitoring strategy should, too.

At LifeCare, we take an integrated, evidence-based approach to health surveillance:

- Audiometry + Spirometry for noisy, dusty, or enclosed environments
- Blood Pressure + Fatigue Checks, especially in shift-based or high-pressure roles
- Skin Assessments for workers exposed to solvents, oils, and industrial chemicals
- Hand-Arm Vibration Monitoring for teams using power tools or machinery
- DL9 Medicals for commercial drivers, ensuring fitness to operate safely under NZTA standards

When risks cross over, your health monitoring programme should, too. We can customise each package based on your unique risk profile, job demands, and regulatory obligations.

55% of workplace injury claims are soft tissue injuries — strains, sprains, aches, and tears. These are the ones that lurk in the daily grind.

📊 According to ACC’s latest injury report (2024), the data paints a clear picture:

- Soft tissue injuries make up 55% of all workplace injury claims, far more than fractures (3%) or lacerations (15%).
- Over 43,000 people were off work after a workplace injury last year.
- ACC weekly compensation payments topped $5.5 million.
- Work-related injuries account for ~10% of new ACC claims, yet nearly 21% of costs.
- The burden is borne by the 558,000 businesses paying ACC levies, contributing $1.3 billion annually toward workplace injury support.
- Five sectors: manufacturing, construction, agriculture, forestry, and fishing, make up 40% of claim costs due to their physical nature and higher risks.

Why First Aid Knowledge & Preparedness Matter ⚠️

Soft tissue injuries may not always be dramatic, but they hurt. They hamper productivity, create absenteeism, and carry hidden costs. When teams are trained in first aid:

- Small injuries get faster, safer attention
- Persistent problems can be spotted earlier
- Confidence builds, knowing someone is equipped to respond
- You strengthen your culture of looking after people

Especially in high-risk industries, first aid isn’t a “nice to have” —it’s essential!

Let’s turn stats into action. Don’t wait until an injury escalates.
✔️ Check your team’s first aid certification status
✔️ Refresh their training
✔️ Reach out to LifeCare — we help businesses in NZ stay safe, prepared, and empowered.

Here are our still-open public first aid courses for next week.

Musculoskeletal disorders are among New Zealand’s leading causes of work-related ill-health — and the latest 2024 ACC stats back that up:

🔹 Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, aches, and tears) account for 55% of all workplace injury claims
🔹 Over 43,000 people were off work after a workplace injury
🔹 ACC paid out $5.5 million in weekly compensation

That’s why Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) matter:

– Detect early signs of joint or back stress
– Support job-fit decisions and reduce injury risk
– Provide baseline data, then track recovery or deterioration

Used effectively, FCAs reduce claims, prevent long-term issues, and boost workplace productivity.

Emergencies don’t just happen on construction sites or factory floors.

📊 According to ACC’s 2024 Injury Report, 66% of all injury claims (that’s around 1.4 million claims), happened at home or in the community, not at work. But these injuries often impact business productivity, requiring time off and taking a huge physical and emotional toll on the person and their team.

Keeping your people trained isn’t just about compliance; it’s about care, capability, and continuity.

LifeCare offers:
- Foundation First Aid for low-risk environments
- Revalidation courses for expired certificates
- Flexible on-site or public options, nationwide

Remember: In NZ, first aid certificates last two years. Is your team up to date?
👉 Let LifeCare help you stay ready.

🦻 Protect Hearing the Smart Way

Did you know 54,522 active claims in 2024 were for ear injuries—making them the highest number of active claims by injury site? (2024 ACC Data)

This underscores just how crucial hearing protection and regular checks are for workers.

Here’s how to dial up best practice:

– Use baseline audiometry within 3 months of hiring
– Retest annually if exposure persists over 85 dB(A)
– Follow the control hierarchy: eliminate → engineer → admin → PPE
– Train in the correct use and maintenance of ear protection

Our occupational health technicians handle the testing and follow‑through seamlessly—making it easy for you to protect your team’s hearing. Let's talk about proactive health monitoring for your team. ➡https://bit.ly/46uj7eD
