90: Occupational assessor

You could also call this:

"A trained expert checks how your injury affects your work"

If you need an occupational assessment, a special person called an occupational assessor will do it for you. The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) chooses this assessor. They make sure the assessor has the right skills and experience to do your assessment properly. This is important because each assessment might be different depending on your situation.
