outnumber any other ethnicity
Today Te Roopu Marutau o Aotearoa held the first Māori health and safety conference in Kirikiriroa, with the aim of promoting a “by Māori for Māori” approach to achieve equitable outcomes for Māori workers.
According to WorkSafe, there are 103 work-related injury claims for every 1000 Māori fulltime workers. That’s compared to 83 claims for every 1000 Pākehā workers.
Te Roopu Marutau o Aotearoa (the Māori Health and Safety Association) chairman Wayne Kohi acknowledges the poor statistics, which he wants to change.
