Pregnancy Risk Assessment

If you are notified that an employee is pregnant, breastfeeding or has given birth within the last six months, you should check your workplace risk assessment to see if any new risks have arisen. In many instances, a pregnancy risk assessment for the individual will be required. If risks are identified during the pregnancy, in the first six months after birth or while the employee is still breastfeeding, you must take appropriate, sensible action to reduce, remove or control them. Safewell can help you identify any specific risks to the employee and outline actions to help risk and/or eliminate these risks.

Where can/should Pregnancy Risk Assessments be Carried Out?

Pregnancy risk assessments are best carried out in the employee’s workplace where the OH professional can establish any workplace risks and hazards.
