I am a law teacher, not a OH nurse or occmeddoc. But Perhaps this new
article I have written about the law and ethcis of OEM responsiblities to
pregnant workers helps? And if not, PLEASE forward to me your constructive
comments. I know too this article is written for a USA audience, but once in
agreat while some things are universal..
Please reply to me by email or (preferably, hard copy letter). The article
as attached is in press and should be out in the next few months. I can also
give lectures.............All the best, Ilise
