New and Expectant Mothers
University safety policy requires departments to make a risk assessment for the work of new and expectant mothers. It is recommended that health and safety queries from Departments are addressed in the first instance either to their Departmental Safety Officer, or to the Area Safety Officer or to the Safety Office. The Occupational Health Service can assist with health queries about pregnancy and work, and breast-feeding and work. We accept queries from individual members of staff, or from those with Departmental responsibilities for new and expectant mothers. Providing answers may require a consultation with a doctor or nurse and also a visit to the workplace.
