Hi Amy
 
I'm doing my Occ Health degree so I know what it's like information gathering for the assignments!
 
I work at BAE SYSTEMS and as such there is no 'policy' regarding pregnant women at work. However, our pregnant ladies are 'captured' in the work place setting when workplace risk assessments are conducted by the risk assessors. We then become involved if the lady needs, for example, a temporary job move or change in working hours. Basically the 'company' would have to accommodate her during her pregnancy and possibly apon her return - if she's breast feeding etc. Under our Long Term Sickness Absence Policy we would automatically see her apon her return to work to establish working hours etc.
 
One publication that is useful by HSE Books - New and expectant mothers at work - ISBN 0 7176 2583 4 
 
Hope this helps and enjoy your course

Hi All,
 
I am doing a degree in primary health care with OH qualification. My occuaptional health assignment is on pregnant women at work.
 
I am wondering if anyone has an protocals or contact with the pregnant women in thier workplace. At the NHS trust I work for we do not have a requirement for pregnant workers to contact OH.  
 
If anyone has any other information it would be greatly recieved.
 
Many Thanks
