HSE tweaks pregnancy guidance

摘要

The HSE has re-worked its guidance for employers on managing the risks faced by pregnant workers and new mothers, to emphasise the need for regular communication and to give a decision-making flow-chart more prominence on its website. The changes followed a survey last year by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the then Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), which found that one in 25 expectant mothers have to leave their jobs due to risk factors at work not being addressed.
