ACC has apologised after private information, numbering in the thousands, was sent out to the wrong businesses.
Each month businesses are sent a report on injuries which have occurred in their workplace and ACC says the external mail house which sends out the reports had a problem in January.
The mailout resulted in about 2000 businesses receiving information intended for other organisations.
General manager Keith McLea says a full investigation has been requested into the breach of privacy.
He says they are very disappointed privacy may have been breached and apologise unreservedly to those affected. And he says the mailing company it uses has apologised for the mistake.
McLea says they are doing everything possible to ensure it does not happen again. In two months ACC will switch to digitally sending out the information.
