Ensuring a healthy and safe working environment is a core priority for any responsible and forward-thinking employer. However, even in workplaces with the best of intentions, blind spots often remain—particularly when it comes to how employees’ identity characteristics (such as gender, age, ethnicity, or disability) shape their distinct needs and challenges around health and safety. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how workplace design, protective equipment, and measures to prevent and address violence and harassment intersect with identity factors. By adopting an intersectional approach, participants will learn how to enhance the effectiveness of health and safety strategies, making them more inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the diversity of the workforce.
