Aminah Shafiq, a senior engineer, designed a PPE headscarf that can be worn under a safety helmet.
Working as a senior water quality advisor from Birmingham, she had safety issues with her hijab and worried that it might get caught or the helmet would not fit properly.
Aminah designed a simple pull-on hijab with no loose material.
She hopes this will entice Muslim women to pursue an engineering career and know they can comfortably wear a hijab on the job. She said she hopes her PPE headscarf design will inspire Muslim women who want to pursue a career in engineering and construction.
