Insight for 30 August 2015 - Dying for a Job
BODY:
Gareth Thomas investigates how efforts to turn around a poor health & safety record in NZ can be sustained
EXTENDED BODY:
A culture of risk is embedded in the soul of the nation.
299 people have died in work since 2010, according to the latest published statistics compiled by WorkSafe NZ.
The sentiment referring to risk was one of the key findings from the Independent Taskforce on Workplace Health and Safety two years ago, which stated:
"Our national culture includes a high level of tolerance for risk, and negative perceptions of health and safety. Kiwi stoicism, deference to authority, laid-back complacency and suspicion of red tape all affect behaviour from the boardroom to the shop floor".
Since that report, which was essentially prompted by the 29 deaths in Pike River Mine explosions, what has changed?
Certainly forestry has made some safety gains. From a peak of 10 deaths in forestry in 2013, a year later the rate reduced to one. But losses of life in agriculture remain stubbornly high.
These statistics show the number of fatal work-related incidents reported to WorkSafe NZ under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. They do not include deaths in the maritime or aviation sectors or fatalities due to work-related road crashes.
So how many more workers could saved? Could fatalities on the job ever fall to zero?
"There are always going to be deaths because we're always doing risky things. And we do it not only in the workplace but in our private lives", said Bryce Wilkinson, a fellow at think-tank The New Zealand Initiative.
"There is an argument that taking risks is sort of essential to our well being. People bungee jump when there's no need for them to do so", he said.
Trying to change attitudes to risk and complacency were a challenge for everyone, not least New Zealand's employers. There's broad agreement in industry that there was a limit to what new health and safety laws can achieve.
"I think the legislation and the regulations are going to be a critical foundation for that culture," said Francois Barton of the Business Leaders' Health and Safety Forum.
"I don't think culture is completely separate to regulation and legislation, but culture is a lot bigger than just the law. So the law's important, but what's really critical is that we're using every tool in the kit.
"So what's the role of senior leaders, of directors, of the marketplace? What's the role of education providers, of unions and workers? What's the role of the regulator? All of those pieces need to be working together if we're going to get change," he said.
Another sector which has seen a reduction in workplace deaths is construction. There are strong views in that industry that it's the culture of a workplace that will keep people out of harm's way, not necessarily new laws.
"I have a background in aviation and it comes from an understanding that having all the legislation and regulation in the world, whether it be about quality of safety, is only part of the solution", said Geoff Eban, general manager of infrastructure, facilities and planning at Wellington International Airport.
"It's the culture of the people doing the work that is tantamount".
Wellington International Airport is extending its terminal and will create more parking spaces for aircraft.
Mr Eban said along with contractor Hawkins Construction the airport was changing its culture through positive reinforcement.
"We've got a big campaign that looks at things that people have done well and rewarding that through all sorts of different methods...such as...a monthly barbecue where we give awards to people who've done safe things and demonstrated to their peers how they can do things safely. That's where you'll change culture", says Mr Eban.
Again, culture is the watchword at lobby group Federated Farmers.
Chief executive Graham Smith said it was making efforts to take health and safety training to the paddock, the scene of heavy workplace casualties.
"We're talking about culture. We're talking about a cultural change, and that's something that can't be left to any one organisation. The starting point is that we all need to recognise that only we can make a difference. It's our collective ability that will ultimately make a difference."

Gareth Thomas asks what the plan is to keep farmers out of harm's way, and how other industries can keep up the momentum on health and safety to ensure workers go home alive at the end of their shifts.

The title of Ralph Chapman’s text, Time of Useful Consciousness, relates to the aeronautical term meaning ‘the time between when one loses oxygen and when one passes out, the brief time in which some life-saving action is possible’. He says humanity has a window which may last a decade or two, before we are forced to make tough choices as we face “the rising wave of damage and dislocation” caused by climate change. But he says we can also take advantage of this window and head off disaster, if we get our act together now.

EXTENDED BODY:
My skills are fine - never better - but my energy levels are way down. That’s what age does to you, so it’s time to go. - Jack Perkins
After 56 year in public radio – 43 of them producing the programme Spectrum – Jack Perkins has hung up his microphones.
Alwyn (Hop) Owen and Jack began Spectrum in 1972. The much improved portable tape recorders that had become available in the 1960s released producers from the confines of the studio to seek stories from all corners of the country.
Hop and Jack, who were privileged to be in on the ground floor of this new form of radio, established Spectrum, whose brief was to record human interest stories to balance against news and current affairs programmes.
It wasn’t long before the Spectrum team realised that a very rich seam lay exposed, ready to be mined. Life and work on the gum fields and in the bush, the kauri industry, the first World War, depression years of the 1930s, the Second World War – the men and women who had lived through these times and events were ready and willing to tell their stories and Spectrum was eager to record them.
Hearing ordinary Kiwis on the airwaves helped to de-centralise and democratise radio. In a very real sense, the portable recorder took radio to the people and imbued their voices and stories with an authenticity and veracity undiluted by transcription or reportage.
To mark the end of his long career, Jack chats with Spectrum co-founder and colleague Hop about Spectrum’s life and times.

2:38 Sir Truby King - what do his hundreds of books tell us about the Plunket Society Founder
Books from Plunket Society founder Sir Truby King's massive book collection are being used to highlight the health campaigner's life and personality. This includes his early years, his education, his work at Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, and his pioneering work in child and infant care. Curator Dr Donald Kerr has accessed The Melrose Library which includes around 1000 volumes which were collected by Sir Truby King in his lifetime. Many are revealingly annotated.

Spiritual Outlook: Defence Chaplains
BODY:
Mike Gourley discusses the material and spiritual role of Military Chaplains with John Neal, a former Principal Defence Chaplain, and Pauline Law, the first woman appointed into Defence Chaplaincy in the Commonwealth.
EXTENDED BODY:
Mike Gourley discusses the material and spiritual role of Military Chaplains with John Neal, a former Principal Defence Chaplain, and Pauline Law, the first woman appointed into Defence Chaplaincy in the Commonwealth.
John Neal served for a time as an Air-force Chaplain. He first graduated as an ordained Anglican Minister in 1968, and then enlisted in the New Zealand Air-force in the 1980s. In doing so, John Neal says, that aside from wife and family, becoming a chaplain in the Air-force combined his two other passions: flying and Christian ministry, the latter dating back to his conversion at a Billy Graham crusade, back in 1959.
John Neal observes that the role of a chaplain, is to provide advice and support to the combatants, not to whip them up into a patriotic frenzy. Chaplaincy as an accepted part of military service evolved, as in the U.K., from a situation where initially, it was the main Christian denominations represented: Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian, to where a broader range of churches involved, including the Methodists. In some situations of armed conflict, historically, the Chaplain might lead the charge, carrying the regimental ‘totem’ – which made him a first target for enemy fire! Nowadays, the role of the chaplain is more diverse, including standing at the side of the C.O. to give advice, particularly where there are other cultural/religious communities to liaise with. And, when it’s predominantly Muslim communities involved, the C.Os of enemy combatants will have their religious advisers on hand.
For a time, Pauline Law served as the principal Navy Chaplain in the NZ Defence Force. She says she did not find being a woman a handicap, even in such a male dominated organisation. She says the Navy, in particular was very supportive of her, so her only real difficulties were sometimes the physical training regimes she needed to get through.
More about today's contributors
Rev John Neal was a diesel mechanic in Blenheim before training for the ministry and being ordained in 1968. He served in Stoke, five years in Canada as a missionary bush pilot, Westport, Timaru and then for 23 years, in the RNZAF as a chaplain, rising to become the Principal Defence Chaplain before retiring in 2009. He is currently Assistant priest at Nativity Church in Blenheim. John and his wife Pam have two adult children, Carol who is a nurse and David, an army officer.
Pauline Law worked with her husband, Bill, who retired as chaplain in 2005, in the parish of the Bay of Islands, after being ordained as a priest in Auckland in 1984. Mrs Law joined the Navy as officiating chaplain in 1989 and was appointed Principal Naval Chaplain in 1995. She served just over 16 years. Not only was Chaplain Law the first female Navy Chaplain but the first woman appointed into Defence Chaplaincy in the Commonwealth. Pauline and her son joined the Navy and they completed their initial training together.

Te Reo o te Raki - Ricky Houghton
BODY:
Lois Williams is Radio New Zealand's Northland reporter. In this series Te Reo o te Raki, The Voices of the North she meets Ricky Houghton, the manager of He Korowai Trust.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ricky Houghton is a man on mission.
As CEO of He Korowai Trust in Kaitaia, Ricky is committed to improving the quality of life for Māori families in the Far North region. Developing Tino Rangatiratanga is their mission statement. Housing conditions is at the top of the priority list with many families living in third-world conditions. In some homes, there is no running water, no insulation and no sewage systems.
He Korowai Trust is chaired by the Naida Glavish, and its trustees include the former Labour MP Shane Jones. He Korowai offers budgeting and family counselling, and has been instrumental in assisting families at risk of losing their homes from mortgagee sales. But the Trust’s first priority is Māori housing, realised in its major project Whare Ora - a radical home ownership scheme for families desperate to move on to healthier living conditions, but with limited means of doing so.
He Korowai has borrowed heavily to buy land on the outskirts of Kaitaia and with an equal amount in government funding it has set up a self-supporting papa kainga that could eventually house dozens of families. To qualify for a house, the family must comply with the trust’s rules: no violence, no drugs and no alcohol. For under $200 a week, meat, milk, fruit and veges from the trust land are included in the rent, and after 15 years the family will own the house.
"At the end of the day these families they fill me with hope, they fill me with excitement, what you are going to see here is 17 adults and forty three kids running around here, they'll have their own rooms, they'll have their own homes. I'm just so excited for them" - Ricky Houghton on Whare Ora
The homes are old state houses from Glen Innes in Auckland refurbished for Far North families. The project has not been without controversy. The Mana Party leader Hone Harawira was one of those arrested at protests in Glen Innes as heart-broken families resisted eviction from homes that have been in their families, in some cases, for generations. Ricky Houghton says he feels for those families, but he takes a pragmatic view. He concludes that the homes were going to be demolished no matter how much people protested, and they are needed in the Far North.
"If you were to look at Te Hapua, it is 103 kilometres one way north of Kaitaia. One of the reasons why we selected Te Hapua was because it is a very deprived and neglected community and it's long overdue to have their fair share of opportunity" - Ricky Houghton
He Korowai work includes renovating condemned houses into healthy homes in Te Hapua. The organisation will team up with Māori GP Lance O’Sullivan and the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment. The plan will show how home improvements can also improve health.
Ricky knows first-hand what is needed to improve the quality of live for māori in the Far North, but his own life could have turned out much differently.
Ricky’s mother was ostracised by her family after she refused an arranged marriage after she fell in love with an English sailor in Auckland. It wasn’t until she died in the 1990s that her family took her back to her home. Ricky was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a young teenager when he started hanging out with much older boys and living on the streets.
At 14 years old he met his girlfriend, and within the year he became a young dad. He is still with his wife today. A father at 14, he grew up fast, worked hard and owned his first home when he was 17 years old. Today, the couple are based in Auckland but Ricky credits his wife with allowing him to leave their home every week to travel to Kaitaia for work.
Over the years, Ricky has gained diplomas in management and directorship, But for the last 15 years, he’s been manager of He Korowai Trust. He admits that It’s more of a vocation than a job. He’s a man who somehow managed to climb out of the hole he found himself in as a boy and his mission in life is to give others a hand up.

Action and Adrenaline
BODY:
One in Five is courtside to watch Canterbury's powerchair football team in action. The squad has been working its way up the Trans-Tasman rankings and will face Australia again in October. But, as Katy Gosset finds, for many players with disabilities, the sport is also a chance to get lost in the moment and revel in a burst of adrenaline.
EXTENDED BODY:
"It's just one of those games," says Pat Edmonds, as he tries to pin down the fast-growing appeal of powerchair football.
"It's got adrenaline racing through your body as you smash that ball," he says.
And then there's the speed of the chairs on a small, indoor court: "You're going at 10kmph forward and backwards so its a quick game!"
As Katy Gosset finds, for many players with disabilities, the sport is also a chance to get lost in the moment and revel in a burst of adrenaline.
Pat Edmonds says powerchair football has taken off around the world with 28 countries now involved.
In New Zealand, the Canterbury squad is well established and players have already tackled an Australian national side on two occasions. Pat says the first time the New Zealanders were thrashed 31 nil but last year they closed the gap, losing 6 nil.
He says the Australians have a number of regional sides from which to choose their squad but the Canterbury team has struggled to get players involved.
"Once they actually experience it, they get hooked immediately."
Playing on a Knife-Edge
Pat Edmonds says the ability to play powerchair football successfully depends on how well the player operates the chair rather than how much function each individual has.
He says that means the game is played by many people who have muscular dystrophy as well as some who are "dangerously ill".
"There are people who play with ventilators and basically if they get hit, they can be killed."
As a result any contact is taken very seriously and anyone who receives a red card must leave, not just the court, but the entire building.
"If you have a dangerous hit, well, you're gone."
He agrees it places a responsibility on all players to compete safely and to show respect for each other.
"If you play it well, you don't get hit. You can spin around. You can kick. You can be part of a sports team."
And once players have a had a taste of the sport, they seem eager to carry on, he says. "You know they're living life on a knife edge but, in saying that, they love the game."
The Young Gun
While Pat, at 53 is the oldest player, Luke Alderton is the youngest - and the Christchurch teenager is already a veteran of two Trans-Tasman clashes.
Like Pat he plays in a "Strike Force", a top-of-the-range wheelchair, designed in the United States for powerchair football.
The chairs can get up to 10kmph in a matter of seconds and Luke says it took him a few months before he could put the ball "sort of in the right direction".
He believes the sport is the only one that provides a truly competitive team environment for powerchair users and he says serious competitions can be tough.
"In a final [when] you're down one nil, the pressure to score a goal [is] really hard and you have to be able to soak it up throughout the 40 minute match."
Luke says a competitive game also offers a good mental challenge. "Although it doesn't involve your body moving, your brain is constantly going. It's like doing a three hour exam."
Luke's mother, Ali Alderton, is courtside at today's game, not as a parent - but a coach.
She and her husband, Steve, both volunteered to coach to help their son access the sport.
"Luke really enjoys it and we want to make sure that he can participate and so we've decided that we'll help out as much as we can."
She believes playing sport is another part of Kiwi life that she wants her son to experience.
"Being able to play something that is competitive and fun and high-speed, high impact in a souped-up chair, they love it, so it's really important."
And she says the sport also offers time out from some of the physical and medical challenges many of the players face.
"The opportunity that sport gives them is a time to be in their chairs, not to think about any of that and just to compete and I think that's really healthy."
The Newbie
Five weeks after her first game, Diane Williams is already hooked. She enjoys the speed and can't wait to get her own wheelchair adapted.
"I love it, I absolutely love it," she says.
She admits sometimes the action is so fast that spectators put cones around her assistance dog on the side lines to ensure the ball won't hit him.
Five years ago Diane had a stroke which prevented her from using one side of her body and stopped her playing the many sports she enjoyed, such as indoor netball, soccer and rugby
"To have a stroke one day, that was all over. So I needed something to take its place."
It wasn't until she came across powerchair football that she found the fast-paced option she'd been looking for.
"You don't need to be fast-paced if you can't or don't want to be but I like being fast."

This documentary features rare interviews with Townes, conversations with musicians touched by his music including Joe Ely, Rodney Crowell and Delbert McClinton, candid memories from those who knew him intimately and Townes' most influential songs - including some vintage live performances (KUT)
