Creating safer jobsites means ensuring every worker has the support, equipment, and respect they need to do their job safely. For transgender and nonbinary employees, barriers such as harassment, inadequate facilities, ill-fitting PPE, or uncertainty about workplace expectations can impact both physical and psychological safety.
