Manukau's Injury Toll

July - September 2010

Number of new injured people Number of people still recovering from an injury Cost to the country*
12,638 20,286 $18,392,944

*ACC Costs only


Did you know?
In Manukau over the last three months:
· 6,099 residents were injured in the home

· 2,673 residents were injured playing sports

· 1,891 residents were injured while at work

· 412 residents were injured on the road.

Manukau residents are more likely to be injured in the home that anywhere else. Last year, there were 12 deaths every week in New Zealand as a result of home injuries. The tragedy is that many of these accidents could have easily been avoided.


What can you do?
You can reduce the chance of you or your family getting injured by making one simple change:

1 Wet bathroom floors are slippery, so use a non-slip mat in bathrooms.
2 Stairs you can't see can be dangerous. Turn on the light switch.
3 Chairs are for sitting on, not standing on! If you need to reach up high, use a stepladder.
4 Glass doors and windows are hard to see, so put stickers on the glass to make them more visible.
5 Nothing ruins a party like an injured mate, so provide non-alcoholic drinks for guests.
