Dear Mr Jordan

 

On 1 May 2016 you asked ACC for the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

“Official Information Act request – Clients/Claimants requirement to
Comply with Current Health and Safety Law in Workplace whilst in ACC
‘Care”

(…)        

Please provide information which covers the Corporation and Claimants
whilst placements are active in any Workplace or Vocational environment
(ie: workplace/environment for the purpose of imminent reintegration to
workforce)”

 

Section 12(2) of the Act provides that “the official information requested
shall be specified with due particularity in the request”.

 

ACC is unable to identify the information you are seeking from the way in
which you have worded your request.  Are you asking if clients who are
being assisted in re-entering employment or participating in adjusted
duties to achieve a full return to their pre-injury employment are
required to comply with current the Health and Safety Act? If so, please
confirm this or clarify your request by 13 May 2016.

 

Once ACC has received a confirmation or a request for specific official
information, we will acknowledge the request and begin to consider its
decision under the Act.  The 20 working days for making a decision on your
request will begin from the day ACC receives the particulars of your
request. 

 

Please contact us on [email address] if you would like
assistance with clarifying your request.  We will be happy to answer any
questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Government Services
