Gender issues

Transport and General Workers' Union Guide to Women's Health & Safety (2003)

All working women and men are affected by the safety and health situation at their workplaces. In many cases workplace risks are different depending on factors such as the workers' size, age or gender. This is not an ILO document, but a good and concrete example of how a workers' organization in Great Britain has created a guide on workplace hazards for working women in eleven different sectors. The guide was launched on the International Women's Day, 8 March 2003.
