Description
Women in the safety industry need allies and the space to find their own voices! More importantly, PPE needs to be designed specifically for women’s bodies to ensure safety and efficiency. Joining us on the Hazard Girls podcast is the co-founder of the Iowa Women and Safety Conference and founder of The Safety Rack, Amy Roosa. First off, Amy tells us how she got started with the conference, who it targets, and what it’s all about as well as the main industries that safety professionals are coming from. She then gives us a breakdown of her background and how she got into safety before discussing why women get the brunt of the frustrations people experience in safety more than their male colleagues. Next, Amy delves into the pros and cons of being a woman in the safety industry, the importance of calling sexism out, and why men must be allies. We then discuss the importance of having PPE made for women specifically and how The Safety Rack is changing the ‘shrink it, pink it’ mentality.’ To hear all this and how you can educate your employers to make a change for women, tune in now!
