FIFTH RING Addressing the Inequality of Ill-Fitting PPE for Women in Oil and Gas. Imagine your life at risk because the personal protective equipment (PPE) provided to you doesn’t fit properly. This is a reality for many women in oil and gas; a survey found that 62% of female offshore workers reported that their coveralls didn’t fit, while 8% had been told they couldn’t fly offshore because they could not find a correctly fitting survival suit.

Red Wing asked global B2B marketing agency Fifth Ring to help shine a light on this inequality. The Right Fit campaign informed procurement departments and women in the industry that the PPE they need is available.

Fifth Ring believes in supporting a path toward a more inclusive and safe workplace. Contact us to discuss your efforts to do the same. https://www.fifthring.com/contact
