Women in Construction Health and Safety

On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, three members of IHSA's management team discuss women in construction health and safety. Maren Gamble, manager of Strategic Programs, Deb Moskal, manager of Regional Operations North and East, and Jennifer McKenzie, director of Stakeholder and Client Engagement, address the long-standing gender disparity in the construction industry.

Maren shares her experiences as a female in a largely male-dominated workplace, specifically in construction health and safety spaces. Jennifer acknowledges the progress made in breaking down barriers in the construction industry and discusses the roles leadership and management play in encouraging gender equality in the workplace. Deb emphasizes the immense value female workers bring to the industry and the need for more inclusivity.

Maren, Deb, and Jennifer further highlight the importance of addressing gender diversity in the workplace. Maren applies the hierarchy of controls formula to tackle the issue of gender bias and stereotypes about women in construction, one of which includes fostering a gender-inclusive culture. While the skilled trades and construction industry continues to evolve and there has been remarkable progress in attracting more women to the industry, workers, employers, and the construction industry as a whole can do more collectively to create a more equitable future.
