Get the Essential Guide to Women's PPE
Sponsored by Red Wing for Business
Despite the growing number of women working in the skilled trades, most personal protective equipment is still made with men in mind. From safety footwear to high-visibility vests, gloves and coveralls, PPE that doesn’t fit properly can pose hazards for women on the jobsite.
Providing women with properly fitting PPE is critical for safety and good for business. Gear that doesn’t fit can hinder productivity and potentially lead to costly compensation claims.
As PPE experts, our goal is to help you recognize the key differences between men’s and women’s PPE. Understanding these distinctions is important for ensuring the safety, comfort and productivity of the working women on your team.
