Expectant and New Mothers at Work - Guidelines for Employers
- Individual Risk Assessments. Appropriate control measures should be implemented to eliminate or minimise risks. This may involve job modifications, environmental controls and/or psychosocial support.
- Rest and Breastfeeding at Work. Employers must provide suitable facilities for pregnant workers and new mothers to rest and breastfeed. This includes a private and hygienic space with access to a sink and refrigeration for storing breast milk.
- Communication and Education. Open communication and education are crucial for ensuring the health and safety of expectant and new mothers in the workplace. Employers should encourage open dialogue, provide safety training and promote a supportive culture. It is important to foster a work environment that is sensitive to the unique needs of expectant and new mothers.
- Compliance with Regulations. Employers must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations regarding the health and safety of pregnant workers and new mothers. These regulations may vary depending on the jurisdiction, but they generally outline the employer’s responsibilities to protect the health and safety of their employees.
By taking proactive measures, employers can create a safe and supportive work environment for expectant and new mothers, ensuring their well-being and contributing to a healthy workforce.
