Māori Health and Safety
Haumaru Tāngata FrameworkHaumaru Tāngata is a Māori-centered approach that responds to the overrepresentation of Māori within workplace injury and mortality statistics. It
focuses on high-risk sectors and gives a focused space for Māori workers, Māori
businesses and health and safety representatives to design a bespoke framework
to reduce workplace injury and fatalities. This within the context of the fact that
past approaches have not always provided a platform to reduce the rates of
workplace injury and death - particularly for Māori.
The expectation is that Haumaru Tāngata will deliver a Māori centered model
that is meaningful to organisations, businesses, and individuals. A model - that
is effective, culturally responsive, and capable of reducing and preventing the
workplace injuries and fatalities that Māori experience.
