27th April – Taunton
The course will cover:
- Identifying women’s health and safety concerns
- Gender, health, and safety at work
- Examine your workplace sickness absence policies
UNISON recognises that everyone has an equal right to protection from harm at work, but that doesn’t mean treating everyone as if they were all the same. For example, jobs that people do, their working conditions and how they are treated by society are not always the same. The course will provide an opportunity to examine workplace policies including the application of workplace sickness absence policies and capability procedures which might be penalising women members more harshly for short term absences for e.g., problems related to menstrual such as fibroids, endometriosis, or the menopause.
