Washington — OSHA and the Department of Labor Women’s Bureau have scheduled a free webinar exploring gender-based violence and harassment in the construction industry.

Slated for 2 p.m. Eastern on March 5, the hourlong webinar will focus on “how GBVH impacts worker health and safety,” and how it can be addressed. A construction worker, an employer, representatives from stakeholder groups and a representative from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are set to give presentations.

The webinar will offer Spanish interpretation services. It’ll be the second in a series of four on GBVH. OSHA and the Women’s Bureau are set to examine the issue in the service industry on Feb. 22.
