New & Expectant Mothers

As an employer in a small or medium sized business, it is pretty much a certainty that at some stage you will have employees who are pregnant or who have returned to work after having a child and may be breastfeeding. As you are aware, any workplace has its risks, and some of these can be heightened for new or expectant mothers: working conditions considered generally acceptable may no longer be so during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

At PMR Solutions we offer a fully tailored service to help employers ensure they are aware of the risks faced by new and expectant mothers in their particular workplace.

Working with us, you will be asssited on conducting risk assessments that take into account the type of work carried out by the employee, and you will also have the benefit of our expert advice on making any job adaptations where necessary. In many cases only minor adjustments are required.

Employees and employers can rest assured of our absolute discretion when discussing the regulations, as we appreciate that sometimes there are sensitive or emotional issues attached.

An employee does not have to be pregnant before you take action as an employer to protect their health and safety. You are required to conduct a risk assessment for all employees which should include any specific risks to females of childbearing age who could become pregnant.
