Listen "The High Heel of Safety"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Women in Safety podcast, Alanna Ball takes us down an unexpected path: the history of high heels. Once designed as a safety measure for men in war, heels have shifted through time to become a symbol loaded with stereotypes.Alanna unpacks why the Women in Safety logo features a high heel and what it really stands for. It’s not about fashion. It’s about strength, visibility, and claiming space in an industry where women’s presence is often overlooked.This episode challenges how we think about safety branding and the stories we tell about who belongs in the profession. Logos and colours might seem surface level, but they carry deeper meaning when they reflect values like empowerment, recognition, and authority.If you’ve ever wondered why the Women in Safety heel matters, this conversation will leave you seeing it in a whole new light.How do you think women’s visibility in safety should be represented? Join the conversation and share your perspective._______________________Got questions?Connect with us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/womeninsafety/ Email us - [email protected] Sign up for the newsletter - https://www.womeninsafety.net/ Don’t forget to share this episode with your network and help us spread the word about the incredible work being done in the health and safety profession!Be sure to hit follow on Spotify or the + on Apple Podcasts to get the latest episodes.If you share this episode on your socials, be sure to tag @womeninsafety
