On 8th March 4 – 5.45pm National Health and Safety Committee and Women’s Committee will be hosting a webinar on the hazards in women’s work. Speakers will look at the hazards women face in the workplace and how we can organise around them. There is an international speaker, Professor Karen Messing, from the University of Quebec whose ground-breaking book ‘One Eyed Science’ published in the late 90s exposed the lack of research and protections for women workers.
