This session will focus on inequalities in PPE provision among minority groups across the construction industry.
Attendees will hear from National Association of Women in Construction, Yorkshire Campaign Manager, Katy Robinson, who will talk about some of the current issues faced and how the industry can make improvements.
We will also hear from RSK Buyer, Amy Compton, who will talk about the procurement journey that RSK have been on to enhance their offering of female-fit PPE for their employees. This includes events with suppliers to help facilitate discussions and the exchange of ideas, plus feedback surveys.
The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.
12:00 – 12:30 – Lunch (for those attending in-person at the Leeds SCP office).
12:30 – 13:45 – Presentations and discussion (we will try to keep this event to 1hr but we have allowed a little extra time in case the discussion session does run over).
This event is open to both members and non-members of CIHT and it will be of interest to everyone involved in the highways and transportation sector, both consultancy and contractor.
