Somebody is doing something about it. Not for offshore workers, but in shipping:
Will female PPE bring more females on ships worldwide?:
What’s different about female PPE?
Synergy Group is rolling out new tailor-made personal protective equipment (PPE) to its growing number of female seafarers.
Probably because females are shaped differently from males?
Your PPE is mass produced in sizes S-M-L-XL-XXL. If you don’t fit into any of those, tough luck.
What type of PPE though. Most is unisex. Can’t see there being gendered safety glasses, hearing protection, hard hats, and respirators.
Maybe boots in women’s size?
I didn’t know that tailors made glasses, or boots.
Maybe try another guess?
Gloves and boots. Edison Chouedt Offshore would make me suit up with size 12 fire boots as a nozzle man which is very dangerous in the true event of a fire. I ended up buying my own with my own money. They never reimbursed me and said I was a “troublemaker” for bringing up the issue with the fire boots. They also NEVER had nitrile gloves that fit me so I would buy boxes of my own of a unique color so people wouldn’t use them and their smaller framed guys would take them and use them right in front of me knowing they were mine. Company and employees have no problem with continued disrespect of women.
Originally the nozzle man was supposed to be an AB but he was very overweight and complained that the fire suit was too tight on him and made him feel uncomfortable so they switched the position to me regardless of the fire boot situation.
I had corresponded with Dionne Choueat and her secretary Candy about this. They don’t care. Never had to work on a boat themselves.
Happy International Woman’s day.
“These new coveralls are a great fit and super-functional: breathable, weatherproof, lightweight and comfortable.
I wouldn’t call coveralls PPE.
Edit: I wish we had Catherder here to opine on US made coveralls, and whether they’re good enough for the ladies.
Maybe not traditionally thought of a PPE but certainly now where most companies require FR rated coveralls and in many cases arc flash resistant gear I’d consider coveralls part of the PPE group.
In my last STCW revalidation, we were told the Baltimore Fire Dept female recruit that died in a training burn a few years ago had too large boots that came off in the fire. She didn’t make it out (a lot of other things went wrong as well.)
Maybe Redwing can convince you that there is a difference between males and females 
:
BTW: For the last 2-3 decades or so long sleeved flame-retardant coveralls on the drill floor have been a required PPE by Operators and some Drilling Contractors. Mandatory by Authorities in many parts of the world.
Some call them Boiler suites, others overalls and some even call them jump suites. Whatever float your boat and suits your test.
