In a world that increasingly values diversity and equity, the importance of inclusivity in the design and provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) cannot be overstated.
PPE is designed with a “one-size-fits-all” approach, often leaving those in under-represented groups at a disadvantage, not just in terms of comfort, but in their safety, performance, and sense of belonging.
This e-book, written by Dr. Debbie Janson from the University of Bath, explores the critical role of inclusive PPE in promoting equitable workplaces, improving occupational health and safety, and empowering all individuals to perform at their best. Drawing on research, industry insights, and management expertise, it provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the challenges and opportunities when providing inclusive PPE.
Whether you are an end-user, a business leader, procurement expert, or health and safety professional, this ebook will equip you with the tools and knowledge to advocate for and implement meaningful change, and will explore the following:
- Why inclusive PPE is so important
- What barriers we might face in the workplace
- What a business case might look like for inclusive PPE
- How to sustain momentum in your inclusive PPE campaign
It also includes a useful toolkit of resources, covering self-assessment, email templates and a workforce PPE satisfaction survey.
