DELIVER EVIDENCE-BASED INITIATIVES TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY OF INJURIES IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR

The Manufacturing Sector is one of the five high-risk sectors prioritised by ACC to address the growing cost of claims in the working-age population. The sector continues to have high rates of injury and harm. The annual ACC claims costs for the sector are on the increase. Weekly compensation costs have more than doubled in the last nine years between 2015-2024.

ACC is looking for credible supplier/s who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver evidence-based initiatives to reduce work-related injuries in the Manufacturing Sector. The supplier/s will deliver outcomes-focused programme initiatives that cost-effectively reduce work-related injuries and their impact on individuals and communities, focussing particularly on Māori and Pacific communities.

The supplier’s proposal must have a logic model that articulates how the root causes of injuries in manufacturing will be solved with their proposed programme, and how the objective of their programme will be achieved.

Target outcome to be achieved - 5,461 claims will be saved by the end of the benefit realisation period (approximately 10 years from the delivery phase). At least 18% of the claims saved must be from Māori, and 11% are from Pacific Peoples.
