ACC hopes the economic toll of workplace and accidental injuries can be brought under control. 

It's latest injuries report shows $3.1 billion was spent on weekly compensation last year. 

It estimates there was $8.7 billion in lost productivity. 

Chief Executive Megan Main told Mike Hosking they're improving recovery times through earlier intervention, but reducing the overall cost of injuries will require a wider effort. 

She says every Kiwi needs to be thinking carefully about how not to get injured, and employers need to support people back to work.
