Rotorua worker seriously injured at Claymark sawmill

Friday 21 Nov 2025

 
WorkSafe is investigating how a worker was “seriously injured” while cleaning at Claymark’s Rotorua sawmill on Tuesday. A worker’s union said it was “extremely worrying” to hear of another accident at Claymark, after a trainee machine operator had two fingers amputated in a machine in 2023.

A WorkSafe New Zealand spokesperson told the Rotorua Daily Post the worker in the latest incident was “seriously injured” while cleaning a chain conveyor at Claymark on View Rd in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Earlier this year, Claymark committed to safety measures worth NZ$481,000, using AI technology to indicate risks to workers’ health and safety in real time, and upskilling workers on health and safety.
