WHEN YOU THINK OF THE CHALLENGES OF WOMEN IN THE SAFETY PROFESSION, DO ARTICLES ABOUT PPE AND “SHRINK IT AND PINK IT” COME TO MIND?

How about the real challenges of leadership and representation:

  • Women make up less than half the safety profession
  • Women make up 22 percent of professionals who have earned the certified safety professional designation
  • More women enter the industry yearly, but the number promoted to leadership roles is far less than male counterparts

This panel discussed the challenges of women in safety, using data from over 860 survey respondents and our own experiences. We addressed the issues of advocacy, resilience, creating opportunities for ourselves and others, and the importance of workplace allies.

Advocates and allies gathered at the 2023 NSC Congress for this thoughtful, honest, and productive discussion.
