Setting up initiatives for the management of OHS from a gender
perspective within a CSR framework means taking an innovative
approach: First of all it provides a coherent framework of reference
through a multi-sectoral methodology that incorporates women as
a major stakeholder group in OHS management. Secondly, it
enables practices to be adopted that go beyond reproductive issues.
Finally, it makes it possible to tackle OHS management from strategic,
overall perspective (implementing, measuring and reviewing
the practices adopted) that impacts on corporate performance.
Recognizing gender differences in the workforce is vital in
ensuring the safety and health of both men and women workers
