Why is Diversity Important in Health and Safety
In recent years, the lack of diversity across various fields has become a hot topic. It's seen as not only an unfair advantage to some groups by filling high-paying positions with members of that group but also as a key player in racial and ethnic inequity across the board. After all, the jobs we have dictate how the rest of our life plays out in most cases.
One such field that has a clear disparity between the racial and ethnic groups representing it is the Health and Safety field.
As such, we want to present three ways that we can all work to increase diversity within the safety field to create a more balanced socio-economic playing field for all.
