    The case for inclusive PPE

    The research in this report reveals the impact of poorly fitting PPE and why action is needed to protect a diverse workforce.

    • Over 80% of women experience one or more problems with their PPE.

    • 57% of women respondents found that their PPE “sometimes or significantly hampered their work".

    • If a worker is outside of the 5th or 95th percentile, finding well-fitting PPE is unlikely.

    • 12% of women/non-binary tradespeople never or rarely felt treated equally regarding workplace safety.

    • The estimated annual cost of workplace injury and work-related ill health in 2021/22 was £20.7B.
