ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

*Employers: Are your H&S policies and guidelines up to date?

*Employees: Have you suffered an accident at your work place?

North Island Mussel company is fined with over $250K after worker loses eye in an accident which could have been prevented if they were following the correct Health and Safety procedures.

From that amount only $60K is reparation for the worker which is way too low for an injury that will affect his life forever. The injury was so bad that not even a prosthetic eye could be fitted.

Contact Paul Now to find out how he can help you and avoid a big fine to your company or a low reparation for your injury.
