People working in Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay, sports professionals, dancers and outdoor adventure operators are most at risk of work-related injuries.
But if you work in Wellington, particularly in the financial and insurance industries, your low-risk office environment likely keeps you safe.
Statistics New Zealand said on Thursday arts and recreation workers had the highest rate of injury last year.
This industry included categories such as sports professionals, dancers, and outdoor adventure operators.

The risk of a resurgence in the housing market means lending restrictions should be left in place for some time, the Reserve Bank says.
In speech to mark the end of his five years as governor, Graeme Wheeler outlined what it might take for the central bank to begin loan to value ratio restrictions (LVRs) on residential housing.
The rules limit the amount of highly leveraged lending banks can have in their residential mortgage portfolio.
​Amid signs that the housing market is turning, Prime Minister Bill English made pointed comments earlier this month that the Reserve Bank should outline what needed to happen for the rules to be relaxed or removed.

Fonterra’s decision to stand-down overweight truck drivers is a much wider issue in the trucking industry, and maybe other industries also, experts say.
Fonterra said on Tuesday that some of its drivers – understood to be two – would be offered alternative duties because they were much heavier than the weight safety ratings on their driver’s seats safely allowed.
The company also said that 50 of its drivers weighed in between 140 kilograms and 150kg, the seat weight maximums on its two main types of tanker.
Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said that Fonterra’s situation was not new, and that there had been court cases in New Zealand and Australia previously over the matter.
