HazardCo members are safer than ever, and the latest stats prove it

At HazardCo, we’re all about making health and safety simple – and it’s working. 

New data shows that HazardCo members in New Zealand are significantly safer on site compared to national benchmarks. Whether you’re on the tools or managing a team, these numbers highlight the real impact of doing health and safety with HazardCo. 

The latest data shows HazardCo members are experiencing far fewer injuries than the national average. 

HazardCo members are 6.5 times less likely to have an injury

The latest industry data proves our members are safer on-site. When you look at the national average, the number of injuries on site is staggeringly high (111 injuries per 1000 workers), but HazardCo crews are bucking the trend with only 17 injuries per 1000 workers. Showing that our members see a massive reduction in accidents compared to the rest of the country, this also means fewer broken bones, fewer work stoppages, and more teams staying on the tools. It’s simple: our system works because it makes safety part of the job, not a mountain of paperwork.

The cost of Injuries: What does that mean in the real world? 

When injuries occur on site, the impact adds up quickly. On average, each injury leads to 32 days off work. Across the country, this equates to 3,552 lost workdays per 1,000 workers. In comparison, HazardCo members avoid around 3,008 of those lost days per 1,000 workers. This clearly demonstrates how strong safety practices help prevent injuries and keep people on site.

The business impact

Keeping your team safe isn’t just about doing the right thing; it’s smart business. Every time someone gets hurt on site, the costs start piling up, from lost wages and replacement labor to the massive headache of project delays. Because HazardCo sites have so many fewer accidents than the national average, our members aren’t just protecting their people; they’re saving money. By cutting out those preventable injuries, you keep your jobs moving, your costs down, and your business running exactly the way it should.

Beyond the bottom line, a safe site is a badge of honor. It tells your clients you’re a professional outfit they can trust with their biggest projects, and it tells your team you actually care about their well-being. In an industry where good people are hard to find, being known as the safest crew in town makes you the employer of choice.

The HazardCo Advantage

At HazardCo, we believe everyone deserves to go home safely at the end of every shift. The latest industry data proves our members are doing exactly that, with far fewer injuries than the national average. But staying safe isn’t just about avoiding accidents; it’s about running a smarter, more professional business. Our digital tools guide teams through the right safety steps on site, from Site Reviews and risk assessments to toolbox talks, site inductions, and incident reporting, all in the HazardCo App. 

Our mission is simple: keep the person at the top of the ladder safe, and the data shows it’s working.
