The 25th Anniversary of the Greater Boston Chapter’s BOSGO did not disappoint.

Leading up to the tournament, the forecast of rain had us nervous, but a high-pressure system pushed the weather out of Massachusetts and gave us one of the best golf days in recent memory.

Of course, it wasn’t just the sunshine that made this year special. We not only met our fundraising goal of $30,000—we exceeded it. Thanks to the generosity of our players, sponsors, 50/50 raffle, and Golf Cannon hole, BOSGO 2025 raised $35,000. Net proceeds will directly support student scholarships and activities for local students pursuing careers in occupational safety and health, ensuring that the next generation of safety leaders across New England have the resources they need to succeed.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the most essential layers of worker safety. However, most PPE has historically been designed based on male anthropometric data, leaving women and smaller-bodied workers with equipment that does not fit properly. Ill-fitting PPE is not only uncomfortable but also unsafe.

This Women in Safety Excellence (WISE) event will explore the science, research, and standards driving the future of inclusive PPE. Participants will hear from two experienced industry leaders and engage in a hands-on demonstration to understand how proper fit impacts safety and performance. Refreshments and food will be provided by our generous hosts, Industrial Safety & Rescue.
