|
This volume summarizes the evidence about the relationship between gender inequality and health and safety problems related to work. It reviews gender issues in research, policies and programmes on occupational health and safety, and highlights some specific issues for women. It also considers biological differences between women and men in relation to the hazards they face in the workplace. Implications of the findings and recommendations for occupational health research, policy, legislation and training are discussed.
