Building a Safe, Healthy, and Respectful Workplace for Tradeswomen: A Total Worker Health Approach.

项目摘要 技术行业的雇员（例如，建筑业）的伤亡风险很高，因为 这项工作是物理和机械相关的危险近在咫尺。女商人的风险更高 由于他们面临的复杂和独特的挑战，包括歧视， 性骚扰、个人防护设备不合适以及无法使用安全的浴室设施。的 这项研究的目的是填补关于妇女从事技术贸易工作的三个主要知识空白：（1）查明 女商人面临的独特的工作经历（既有问题也有好处）;（2）量化影响 这些因素对女商人的影响;（3）确定工作场所的战略，以改善她们的安全，健康， 和幸福我们的中心假设是，多种因素影响女商人的总体工人健康® (TWH)可以通过基于系统方法的战略加以解决。这项工作的长期目标是 通过确定女商人特有的经验，改善女商人的安全、健康和福祉， 并利用这些知识制定战略，确保女工有更好的工作生活。我们 方法是基于社会技术系统（STS）的理论框架，这将有助于我们确定关键 通过人与人之间的互动， 环境和技术。我们还将包括影响整体福祉的因素， 女商人从TWH的角度来看。我们将确定这些关键因素，并发展组织- 个人层面的战略，以尽量减少或促进他们，分别，以支持增加安全性， 公平，并纳入技术行业。该项目将产生（1）公司可以使用的调查工具 确定影响女商人安全、健康和福祉的关键因素;（2）一套战略、解决方案， 和指导方针，旨在减轻两个女商人的关键压力（在导航他们独特的 环境）和主管/组织（关于对女商人的组织支助）;以及（3）新的 材料（例如，小册子、短视频、一页纸），用于研究、翻译和传播 信息/知识。我们将采用混合方法，结合定性（访谈和 焦点小组）和定量（调查）数据，以确定影响安全，健康和良好的关键因素- 作为女商人，并制定解决方案的战略。项目目标有三个方面：1）确定 独特的安全和健康经验，女商人面临和量化的影响因素， 女商人的安全，健康和福祉; 2）评估的可行性，好处，障碍，和促进者 各种个人和组织层面的战略，可用于改善安全，健康，以及 3）传播研究中产生的知识和结果（目标1和2） 利益相关者和公众。

PROJECT SUMMARY Employees in the skilled trades industries (e.g., construction) are at high risk for injuries and fatalities because the work is physical and machinery-related hazards are close at hand. Tradeswomen are at even higher risk for adverse outcomes due to the complex and unique challenges they face, including discrimination and harassment, poor personal protective equipment fit, and lack of access to safe bathroom facilities. The objectives of this study fill three major knowledge gaps about women in skilled trade jobs: (1) identify the unique workplace experiences (both problematic and beneficial) tradeswomen face; (2) quantify the impact these factors have on tradeswomen; and (3) identify workplace strategies that can improve their safety, health, and well-being. Our central hypothesis is that multiple factors affect tradeswomen’s Total Worker Health® (TWH) and can be addressed by strategies based on a systems approach. The long-term goal of this work is to improve tradeswomen’s safety, health, and well-being by identifying experiences specific to tradeswomen, and using that knowledge to develop strategies for ensuring a better work life for women workers. Our approach is based on the Sociotechnical Systems (STS) theoretical framework that will help us to identify key risk and protective factors typically encountered by tradeswomen by incorporating interactions between people, the environment, and technology. We will also include factors that influence the overall well-being of tradeswomen from a TWH perspective. We will identify these key factors and develop organization- and individual-level strategies for minimizing or promoting them, respectively, in order to support increased safety, equity, and inclusion in the skilled trades. This project will produce (1) a survey tool that companies can use to identify key factors that affect tradeswomen’s safety, health, and well-being; (2) a set of strategies, solutions, and guidelines designed to mitigate key stressors for both tradeswomen (on navigating their unique environment) and supervisors/organizations (on organizational supports for tradeswomen); and (3) new materials (e.g., pamphlets, short videos, one-pagers) for research translation and dissemination of this information/knowledge. We will employ a mixed methods approach by combining qualitative (interviews and focus groups) and quantitative (survey) data to identify the key factors affecting the safety, health, and well- being of tradeswomen, and generate strategies for solutions. Project aims are threefold: 1) Identify the unique safety and health experiences tradeswomen face and quantify the identified factors that influence tradeswomen’s safety, health, and well-being; 2) Assess the feasibility, benefits, barriers, and facilitators of various individual- and organization-level strategies that can be applied to improve safety, health, and well- being for tradeswomen; and 3) Disseminate the knowledge and findings generated in the study (Aims 1 and 2) to stakeholders and the public.
