The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) #PPEthatfits campaign has put inclusive PPE firmly in the spotlight by helping to address widespread inequalities in provision across the built environment sector.
However, there is more work to be done to ensure all workers are effectively protected, regardless of gender, shape, size, race or religion.
At this virtual event, delivered in association with UVEX Safety (UK), industry experts will discuss why inclusive PPE is a fundamental safety issue that is everyone’s responsibility. The panel will also explore the importance of empowering the workforce to call out inadequate PPE, the key issues contractors must consider when establishing a robust PPE strategy, and the complex challenges including regulatory and procurement constraints.
The speakers will be:
- Katy Robinson, senior project manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council and campaign manager for the National Association of Women in Construction Yorkshire
- Nigel Day, technical support manager at UVEX Safety (UK)
There will also be a case study from a contractor that has deployed a comprehensive PPE strategy.
The webinar, on 8 July at 11am (BST), is free to attend. Shortly after the live broadcast, the session will be available to watch on demand.
Those who watch live will qualify for one hour’s CPD credit.
