Women comprise 9 percent of the industry workforce
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) and OSHA signed an agreement last week to work together to provide NAWIC members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers.
The alliance, which focuses on a subset of construction workers with unique needs, will strive to reduce and prevent exposure to ergonomic hazards, sanitation hazards, and issues related to personal protective equipment selection.
