Description
There is evidence of gender disparity in workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities; however, there is little information indicating the root cause of this disparity. Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Prevention Initiative places a strong emphasis on supporting workers with vulnerabilities to enhance outcomes.
The Gender-Related Injury and Illness Prevention Program (GRIIPP) Research Grant presents an opportunity to explore various aspects of gender disparity, and address knowledge gaps related to gender impacts and issues in OHS.
Results of the funded projects will support women’s participation in the workforce through:
- – prevention of injury and illness
- – identification of best practices
- – recommendations for OHS policy and practice
- – knowledge translation activities
Key research priorities should focus on:
- – Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- – violence and harassment
- – health and safety differences related to gender
