On the other hand, in the blue-collar category, the higher presence of men is due to the load lifting limits imposed by the regulation on the manual movement of loads in force for the female population compared to the male population.
3.36% of the personnel fall within the protected categories (disabled).

An analysis of the data highlights a difference between the average salaries of men and women, particularly in relation to overall income (annual income), which includes in particular the various bonuses for working more inconvenient shifts within the day/week. The data relating to the GAS differential within the whitecollar category is due to higher average contractual commitments among females in the category. The highest differential between men and women is within the Executives-senior managers category, in part due to the reduced number of females in more senior management positions.
