Did you know that on average 25,000 people a year require hospitalisation from an injury that happened in their own home? It is statistics like this that prompted us to launch our 'Safety Begins at Home' campaign last year. And this year we're more determined than ever to help reduce the amount of injuries in the home.
This year 'Safety Begins at Home' kicks off on 7 September with a week of events and activities that will encourage people to find out how they can make their home a safer place. We will show simple things you can do to reduce the risk of being injured in your own home.
We have loads of events and resources available to help you do your bit for home safety for your family, office, community or schools - please help us remind New Zealand that safety begins at home.
