Washington — OSHA and the Department of Labor Women’s Bureau have scheduled a free webinar exploring gender-based violence and harassment in the service industry.

Slated for 3 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 22, the hourlong webinar “will focus on the importance of addressing gender-based violence and harassment in the service industry, and how GBVH impacts worker health and safety,” DOL says. Service industry workers, employers, and representatives from labor unions and worker advocacy groups are set to give presentations.

The webinar will offer Spanish interpretation services.

DOL says it’s planning three additional webinars in the series.
