Hello Georgie
COSHH is control of substances hazardous to health - a pregnancy risk
assessment of someone working with chemicals would link in with the COSHH.
Regs. Reg 6 of which requires a risk assessment. The foetus of the pregnant
woman may be at risk if the expectant mother is exposed to chemicals which
could adversely affect it.
Nightworkers - not really - unless what they do is directly related to the
use of chemicals.
Hope this helps
Anne
