Pregnancy – Risk Assessments

An employer should conduct an assessment when he/she is notified that a woman is expecting.

Note that a second risk assessment has to conducted when the woman reaches her 26th week of pregnancy. The second assessment should take account particularly of the increased risks that the woman is likely to face because of the advanced stage of her pregnancy and the potential complications from any Covid 19 or variant outbreaks.c.
