Women’s PPE should be comfortable

Leslie MolinMarket Segment Manager - Personal SafetyDecember 16, 2022

Women are making up a larger portion of the workforce in skilled labour, trades and primary industry year after year.

As more women enter these industries, the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) that addresses the needs of women increases as well.

The primary purpose of PPE is to prevent an injury. Yet, it’s critical to provide your staff with PPE that is comfortable and fits well. Not only does this mitigate risk, it also promotes compliance.

How to find more inclusive PPE:

Over the past few years, our team at Levitt-Safety, headed by Leslie Molin, Market Segment Manager for PPE, has been on a mission to source more PPE options for women (and no, it’s not pink!). 

We’ve partnered with leading manufacturers who design PPE tailored for women, available in multiple sizes, and comes in flame-resistant options.
