Episode 217: The Importance of Women's PPE

from OH&S SafetyPod · host David Kopf, Publisher & Executive Editor, OH&S Magazine, 1105 Media Inc.

Properly fitting PPE is critical for ensuring comfort, effectiveness, and safety on the job, but for women in the workforce, sourcing PPE that is designed with their dimensions in mind isn't always easy. That's why women's PPE advocacy organization The Safety Rack and the Alliance of Women's Safety Apparel Manufacturers (AWSAM) partnered with other women's groups to launch the #MyBodyMyPPE campaign last year to raise awareness about the issue. The co-founders of #MyBodyMyPPE, Amy Roosa, the founder of The Safety Rack, and Emily Soloby, founder and CEO of Juno Jones Safety Boots, join the SafetyPod to discuss why women-specific PPE is essential, how to ensure women workers' PPE needs are addressed, and what's coming up for the campaign this year.
