PPE for Women: Don’t ‘shrink it and pink it’ – real solutions to keep all workers safe
March 23, 2023 at
1:30pm ET
Research from the CSA Group found just six per cent of Canadian women say the personal protective equipment (PPE) they wear is designed for them.
That has led them to make troubling modifications, using things like duct tape, to get through the day. This compromises the safety of the workers, as the modifications may be making the PPE less effective.
Join OHS Canada on March 23, 2023, as we bring together experts to address the issue head on and discuss solutions to ensure all workers are getting the proper equipment they need to stay safe on the job.
This half-day educational forum is an exclusive opportunity to position your organization as a leader in the design and implementation of inclusive PPE and to show support for women in the workplace as organizations pause to celebrate International Women’s Day.
