Ngā wāhanga motuhake—Individual sections
We've divided the full induction video (above) into three parts—the welcome and introduction, the health and safety section, and our work to reduce waste on site.
He tāhū kōrero—Welcome and introduction
Like all pā, the Living Pā is about creating a space to bring people together. It is also about the legacy we’ll leave for future generations—Mō te āpōpō.
Haumaru—Health and safety
The wellbeing and safety of everybody on site is of paramount importance. We need to do things the right way so we are all secure from risk and harm.
Para—Waste
The waste imperatives of the Living Building Challenge strive to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, waste production.
“O le mea tāua ia te a’u, o le sefe. A sefe oe, sefe a’u. E mafai ona tatou mafuta i totonu o āiga, fa’apea fo’i le to’alua, aemaise tamaiti.”
“The most important thing for me working here, is safety. If you are safe, then I am safe. We are safe to return to our families.”
