ProtectHer: The Women’s Safety Leadership & PPE Symposium
March 27, 2024 at
1:30pm ET
This exclusive virtual event is an exceptional platform to celebrate, learn from, and network with influential women leaders in safety.
Building on the crucial dialogue started by OHS Canada in 2023, this event will delve deeper into the specific needs and challenges related to personal protective equipment (PPE) for women. This discussion aims to highlight innovations, share best practices, and push for advancements in PPE that are inclusive and designed with women’s unique requirements in mind.
New for 2024, we’re bringing together a panel of top female safety leaders who have shattered barriers in their journey. They will share their experiences and challenges while they explore the broader impact of diversity and equity in leadership roles, discussing how it benefits not only the organizations but also enriches the safety profession.
This half-day educational forum is an exclusive opportunity to position your organization as a supporter of women in OHS and be part of the crucial conversation around PPE and safety leadership. Join us in making the ProtectHer Symposium a landmark event that not only addresses vital issues in women’s workplace safety but also paves the way for a more inclusive and diverse future.
