The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) is partnering with technology provider Autodesk to distribute free, size-appropriate, personal protective equipment for women in construction.
Proper-fitting safety equipment is essential for all workers. However, women in construction require gear that accounts for differences in body shape, size, and fit to be fully protected. Unfortunately, that equipment is hard to find as relatively few manufacturers produce equipment sized for most women. That is why Autodesk is partnering with AGC to provide contractor members with complimentary safety equipment designed and sized to provide a better fit for women. Specifically, they will be provided safety gear packages containing glasses, gloves, and a vest to women in construction and/or firms that employ women in construction.
Supplies are limited, however, and the safety gear packages will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to apply today to secure safety equipment sized to keep you and your women employees safe.
