Subject: Official Information request - Workplace diseases and Schedule 2
of the ACC act 2001

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

I see this page dated 18 Mar 2024 from the MoH says that infectious
diseases like the flu are now "workplace hazards".

 

[7]https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise...

 

"Any infectious disease encountered in the workplace is considered a
workplace hazard."

 

Kindly share the all the memos, emails, correspondence, legal advice etc
that took place for this page to be published and this statement "Any
infectious disease encountered in the workplace is considered a workplace
hazard.".

 

The list workplace diseases is here on the ACC act 2001
[8]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Erika Whittome
