Women in Mechanical Contracting (WiMC) launched the 5th episode of 'The Voice', to kick off the second season of the podcast series.

At the MCABC 2024 Conference, we gained insights from a panel discussion on how personal protective equipment (PPE) fails to fit women properly, highlighting the sizing challenge and safety implications of ill-fitting PPE. |
