WORKPLACE:
- Men face 15 times the number of occupational deaths, compared to women: Men: 6.2 deaths/100,000 workers, Women: 0.4/100,000 workers.
- Men bear the burden of nearly twice the number of occupational injuries as women. Men: 1,443/100,000 workers, Women: 755/100,000 workers.
Strategies and Solutions:
- Participate in the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, observed each year on April 28.
- Assertively speak out when men’s workplace safety issues are shortchanged or ignored.
