COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Concern At Rise In Premiums
After remaining at 30s for each £lOO of wages for several years the premiums for workers’ compensation insurance for plastics moulders had risen to 355, the bi-annual conference of the Plastics Institute of New Zealand was told at Hanmer Springs yesterday. The conference resolved to approach the Workers’ Compensation Board, expressing its concern at the rise in rates and asking for details of the cause of the rise. Mr R. H. Stewart said that if the accident rate was to be reduced the institute must find out why the plastics moulding accident rate was rising so much.
For all the institute knew, he said, the cause of the rate increase might not be machinery, but dermatitis or some other thing.
