The ACC WorkSafe Injury Model is an analysis tool to help identify the factors that contribute to injuries in your workplace and find the right prevention solutions.
How does it work?
The ACC WorkSafe Injury Model lets you trace an ‘event’ – a workplace injury, illness or death - back to several causal factors, rather than a single cause. It helps you consider a range of factors that could have contributed.
See the Model in action in three case studies. It could be a real eye-opener for your business.
The post-event response and external factors are key components, but find out about the other factors below.

How the ACC WorkSafe Injury Model works alongside ACC WorkSafe Cycle and ACC Workplace Safety Management Practices.
Cultural factors
See if culture factors - ‘the way things are done around here’ - are a cause of injuries in your business.
Task factors
Task factors - the actions and movements used by people to perform their work - may have an impact on the health and safety of your business.
System factors
Systems – or lack of systems - shape the working environment and influence how a worker may act.
