Workwear - The safety and health issues for women in the construction industry in the U.S.

The United States is responsible for health and safety matters within the jurisdiction of the Department of Labour, Health and Safety Administration in the U.S. (OSHA). In the construction industry is not the input provided by the Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH), an independent group that provides an additional perspective to issues OSHA safety in construction. Usually, when a risk assessment has been carried out and it was decided PPE is necessary for workers little thought has been devoted to the following account:· Is it correct and appropriate for the risks involved and the environment in which to use?· 

Do you prevent or adequately control the risks involved without increasing the overall level of risk?· Have you considered the health of employees using the PPE?· What are the needs of the job and the requirements it imposes on the company, for example, limited vision, the duration of the PPE should be used and the physical demands of PPE places on the user?·

 The appropriate level of training can be provided if required?If you ask these fundamental questions would have been twenty years ago many women protest in the construction industry in the United States, women undoubtedly Chicago (CWIT - Chicago Women in Trades) and these women make their voices heard in NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). Unfortunately, many of the issues raised then still not been satisfactorily resolved.

 As PPE women complained that there was little or no smaller sizes available - Considering the first point in the list above and the second effect and the fourth point also, the complaint could be resolved easily if comfort and fit was in the mind of the head of PPE buyer.Clothing size is inherently dangerous! However, employers consider that comply with industry standards and that women have been whining for reasons "fashion / adjustment" instead of security.

 Clothing or equipment that are not size or does not fit well can compromise personal safety. It also may not be effective in the way it was designed. The report notes that "poor fit compromises the protection offered by clothing or equipment. Lack of appropriate PPE and PPC can cause security risks and health consequences for women and smaller men, based on clothing and protective equipment to help keep them safe.Having inadequate or ill-fitting clothing, boots, gloves or safety equipment present a security risk to all workers.

 "It seems that there has been little effort to account for lower physical dimensions of women and protective clothing, such as ear, head and face sizes. Gloves Shoes and women were often inadequate or inappropriate for workers construction, which could be due to lack of availability (ie, manufacturers and distributors do not store), limited availability or lack of awareness among employers and employees in the event of equipment designed for body structure A woman can get. This is not a sufficient excuse.

Sexual health problems of men women should know

When I was young, and witnessed the arrival of five children (four boys and a girl), I found that there was not much big deal to be a woman of home care and, of course, deliveries and care for them.

 This has not changed, even when I got married and my wife and family planning began.

 This ignorance, to my regret, it is by no means limited to just me. I can barely hear people than those of the medical profession to speak of other things about women, except that they are more interested - sex. 

Make an OB-Gyne (Obstetrics and Gynecology) for a girl told me a little. I'm a little educated in the sexual health needs of women and more attention to this aspect (not insist on sex when it is "dangerous"). 

And you should too, if you want to get the most out of their relationship. You should know that beyond being a partner and support their sperm, spouse, partner or otherwise, would be happy if you can show a little interest and understanding of the various sexual health issues will surely meet , especially when the years start building it. 

Some of them are: 

Gynecological problems:
 Gynecology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diseases and disorders of the female reproductive system, ie, uterus, vagina, ovaries, breasts, etc.Unknown to most men, women may have one of the following gynecological disorders: - endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and vaginitis, among others. .Or one of the most serious and deadly of gynecological cancers such as cervical, endometrial andovarian.The death of these health problems can be prevented through changes in lifestyle and regular Pap tests, which many women take for granted, and that men do not know 

..Painful intercourse:
If your partner tells you that it hurts to have sex, she may be telling the truth and not just put you off. She might be having dyspareunia - painful vaginal penetration.
This is not a health problem in itself, but could be a symptom of a serious medical condition or other phsychosocial problems.
Rather than looking for someone to take you on without pain, ask your partner to consult a doctor. Do not ruin your relationship in the long term for a short-term gratification.
Menstruation and breast health:
Menstruation is a signal that a woman is ready for pregnancy. It is the process by which the endometrial lining of the uterus is shed by the body, producing monthly "period" of a woman.
For men, it is sexual abstinence, unless one is not afraid to bloody everywhere.
Apart from this, guys usually have no idea or do not care, that all women are not equal in their menstrual cycles. Some experience dysmenorrhea, or painful periods, while others have irregular periods, releases too much or too little blood.
Do not take this as a natural aberration. Some studies show a positive association between breast cancer and menstrual cycle issues.
Pregnancy and childbirth:
My daughter was devastated the first time she had a patient die on his watch as an internal medicine. It has become so accustomed to death since.
But she still feels sad to give birth to a stillborn term because it is a death that could have been avoided if the mother and father, was more cautious, more careful and aware of the situation baby.
Make a baby does not start and end with sex. Taking shape, the woman carries with it for nine months to put his life on the line to bring her baby into the world. Between the design and delivery of a woman undergoes several changes, physical and emotional, and will manifest some men have needs may find it strange or unreasonable.
Try as much as you can to accommodate these even if you have to bend so low to break back.
In fact, be thankful that it is she, not you, to undergo the long process of designing and delivering a baby.
Menopause:
This is when the "time" of a woman to an end and its ability to produce a baby stops.
It is also a time when a woman has hot flashes, night sweats, pain during sex, anxiety, irritability, and the need to urinate more often.
If they bother you, take a hike rather than responding to their head. You would not do yourself, and while good if you fuss of these physical and emotional changes of your wife.
Be happy to know that a menopausal woman has not lost her desire for sex and you can still have a good sex life with her when she is on the mound.
Women are complex creatures. I even called enigmatic. Under the charming smile and other physical attributes that men often quick to treat, sometimes with contempt, as sexual objects, is an individual sensing, feeling and thinking human needs are too ignorant or indifferent.
