On the basis of the national un-funded liability for work injuries and illnesses, and comparisons of health outcome and cost data to a benchmark, it can be concluded that occupational health practice in New Zealand is deficient. This deficiency persists despite recent legislative reforms and is due to a combination of Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation, health professional and industrial factors. It is clear that a comprehensive corrective strategy is needed to attend to: the up-skilling of health case managers and the medical profession in concert; and, to encouraging employers to introduce comprehensive occupational health programmes.
基于国家工伤和职业病无资金准备负债，并将健康结果和成本数据与一个基准进行比较，可以得出结论：新西兰的职业健康实践存在缺陷。尽管最近进行了立法改革，但这种缺陷仍然存在，这是事故康复和补偿保险公司、健康专业人员和行业因素共同作用的结果。显然，需要一项全面的纠正战略来解决以下问题：同时提高健康案件管理人员和医疗行业的技能；以及鼓励雇主推行全面的职业健康计划。
