In 2020, AGC partnered with Autodesk to distribute 300 safety harnesses designed for women to 20 companies nationwide. This video follows up with Christman Constructors, Inc., one of the grant recipients, to see how they are benefiting from the smaller fitting harnesses and to emphasize the importance of proper fitting PPE. Over the past few years, the number of women working in construction has significantly increased, and Christman Constructors is dedicated to supporting diversity and equity in the trades. The new harnesses, which provide better comfort and mobility, are greatly appreciated by the women in their workforce. The improved design includes better back support and prevents discomfort around the neck. Additionally, the initiative has prompted the company to consider more appropriately sized PPE for both women and smaller men, enhancing overall safety and comfort on the job. This effort not only highlights the company’s commitment to safety but also fosters a culture of inclusion and care within the construction industry.
