HEALTH & SAFETY: Call to address unfair standards for women’s ♀ offshore PPE. Unequal PPE standards offshore are affecting female workers.
Calls are being made for the North Sea to address unfair PPE standards for women working offshore. Specialist provider Red Wing said the female offshore workforce is being given oversized personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for men, leaving them exposed to the risk of slips, trips and falls, sleeves getting snagged in machinery, and the added danger associated with flash fires – sudden, intense fires caused by the ignition of flammable substances in the air.
