🔴 STUC Women’s Conference 2026 – Perimenopause: A Workplace Health, Safety and Equality Issue Kerry McCrone, FBU Scottish Women’s Secretary, spoke to second the CWU motion on Perimenopause – A Workplace Health, Safety and Equality Issue. Kerry highlighted the FBU’s upcoming CODE RED campaign, which calls on the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) to provide meaningful support for women across all aspects of menstrual health, perimenopause and menopause. 🚒 For far too long, women firefighters have been expected to work in environments where basic facilities to manage their menstrual and menopausal health are inadequate or simply nonexistent. From fire stations to the incident ground, these unacceptable conditions have been allowed to continue for far too long. Menstrual health and menopause are not simply women’s issues – they are workplace health, safety, dignity and equality issues. The FBU Women’s Committee will continue to challenge these inequalities and push for appropriate facilities, meaningful workplace policies and practical support that recognise the needs of women throughout their careers. ✊ Our women members deserve more than words of support. They deserve workplaces that meet their needs, protect their health and uphold their dignity. 🔴 CODE RED – Because women’s health matters. #STUCWomensConference #FBUWomen #CodeRed #MenstrualHealth #Perimenopause #Menopause #WorkplaceEquality #HealthAndSafety #WomensRights @fbunational @FBUScotNorth @WestScotlandFBU @FbuEast @FBU_Scotland_EC @AngusSproul @JMcKScotRegSec @fire_scot
