If a woman worker gets safety equipment in male sizes what improvement is needed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Safety equipment suited to gender and body size
Safety equipment must fit properly because loose or oversized gear can slip, reduce visibility, or increase the risk of accidents while working. Therefore, equipment should be provided according to the woman worker’s body size and work requirements. Removing her from hazardous work is not a solution for equal opportunity. Exam tip: gender equality at the workplace includes access to safety facilities that are suitably designed for all workers.
