INSIGHTS FROM OSPE TASK FORCE MEMBERS

The many styles
of wearing a
hijab. The turban
style is most
easiest to wear
under a hard hat.

If you are an engineer that wears a hijab,
there are some things to keep in mind.

1.

There are many styles and ways to wear
the hijab and everyone has their own,
slightly different way that makes them
feel comfortable. The turban style is the
easiest to wear under a hardhat. With
that style there is no dangling fabric and
it doesn't fully cover your ears, which is
helpful when you need all your senses to
be unobstructed.

2.

If you are uncomfortable wearing hijab
this way because it shows the neck and
parts of the ear. There are ways to wear
a turban that allow for full coverage,
turtlenecks are one way to do that. There
are many distributors that sell turtlenecks
with attached hijabs.

3.

Hijab styles with dangling or loose ends
should be tucked into clothes, shirts or
turtlenecks.

4.

Client-focused
Our clients mean the world to us, and
that's reflected in everything that we do.
GHD proudly supports
OSPE and is committed to
developing great engineers.

Skirts are typically not allowed in most
industrial plants, but for those who are
uncomfortable in pants due to formed fit,
could opt for pants that are a loose fit and
bootleg cut.
There are many ways Muslim women
wear hijab to preserve their modesty,
each is different and customized to their
style and personality. The way hijab feels
comfortable should be the way it's worn,
simply customized to meet the safety
standards of the work environment.
The tips above are based on my own
experience. Please do not adhere to these
if they contravene any safety guidelines
for your specific work environment. If
you are a hijabi engineer with safety
clothes stories or tips, please share! If
you are new to the profession and have
questions, reach out and ask!
