For a long time now, courses of action and measures taken to guarantee this principle have focused on formal equality and on gender as a distinctive factor. Yet since awareness was first raised of the fact that many of the obstacles facing women on the job market are not a direct result of their gender, but rather, of the social roles they assume according to it, the way has been paved for the conviction that formal equality �blind to these circumstances� is not enough for the purpose of ensuring women�s full incorporation into the job market, meaning there is a need to make advances towards achieving material equality. This work attempts to examine this change of perspective within the framework of regulations governing health and safety at work.
