description Reviews job safety & occupational health issues affecting women in the Quebec workplace, focusing on how women are marginalized in provisions for protection. Because regulations on occupational safety & health were legislated years before the feminization of the workforce, & because of women's part-time working status, lower salaries, or employment in smaller businesses, many safety provisions do not apply to them. Provincial authorities responsible for performing worksite inspections prioritize male-worker-dominated industries. After examining the relatively fewer safety & health risks involved in women's working conditions, recommendations are proposed to correct the imbalance in the law's application. 4 Tables, 95 References. Adapted from the source document.
