The Alliance of Women's Safety Apparel Manufacturers is a collection of specialty manufacturers and distributors committed to providing properly designed and fitted PPE for women. Our foundational pillars are Awareness, Access and Advocacy. Our non-profit organization has 12 Founding Members and aligns the needs of women in the workforce and the companies they work for with specialty manufacturers dedicated to providing appropriate PPE for women. The Founding Members of the organization have made great strides in removing barriers to access that have existed for many years and kept women from being equally protected. Together, we create a platform that increases awareness of products made for women, encourages equal access to appropriately fitting PPE, and advocates for the safety of women in the workforce. In the spirit of co-opetition, we collaborate to envision what is next for women in industry as we work side by side to accomplish our mission, increase our impact, and share the journey with everyone seeking to elevate diversity and equality in their workplace.
