Health and Safety Campaigns - The Important Issues

Pregnant Women Campaign

The campaign for expectant mothers is part of a campaign aimed at raising awareness of gender-specific H & S issues.

All expectant mothers should have a risk assessment carried out as soon as they discover that they are pregnant and plans put into place to modify their working conditions as necessary. This is a legal requirement.

We are concerned that this common sense approach is not being universally applied. The poster is being sent to every school in Cheshire.

For the HSE guidance on this issue, including an example of best practice, you can download this document from the HSE.

 

We will be adding more information soon. Please keep checking back.
