""The clothing works with me, like another colleague," wrote the shunting attendant on the blog of the Cologne-based workwear manufacturer Bierbaum-Proenen."
"According to a 2010 British study by the Women's Engineering Society, more than half of the respondents felt their personal protective equipment restricted them rather than kept them safe."
"Even men's safety shoes often failed to accommodate women's narrower feet."
"Despite some recent changes, protective workwear is still generally designed with men in mind."
Jennifer Herb, a shunting attendant at DB Cargo, emphasizes the importance of well-fitting, high-visibility workwear designed for women. Traditional workwear often fails to accommodate women's body shapes, leading to discomfort and safety risks. Poorly fitting clothing can restrict movement and concentration, increasing the likelihood of workplace accidents. Despite some improvements, many protective garments remain designed primarily for men. Companies like LAT are addressing these issues by creating functional and safe workwear tailored specifically for women in industrial roles.
