As the world celebrates International Women's Day, Friday, one executive in the mining industry said that women have made definitive progress in "small incremental moves" throughout the sector.
One factor helping women feel more confident into the workforce is Covergalls, a form-fitting coveralls designed specifically for women, created by Alicia Woods, entrepreneur and general manager of Marcotte Mining Machinery Services Inc.
Covergalls, Woods said in an interview with Kitco News on the sidelines of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention in Toronto, was initially created for the mining sector, but demand has since expanded and the workwear is now used by women within construction, oil and gas, forestry, and utility companies.
