Haumaru Tāngata (Māori Health & Safety) Framework

Haumaru Tāngata is a Māori-centered approach that responds to the over representation of Māori within workplace injury and mortality statistics. 

The framework draws together the foundational principles, focus areas, activities and interventions, and measures detailed in this section of the document.

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.
