The HSE’s advice has changed, and you must now carry out an individual risk assessment for pregnant workers and new mothers.
The difference in this new advice is that you must also carry out an individual risk assessment that covers a worker’s specific needs when they inform you in writing that they are:
- Pregnant
- Have given birth in the last 6 months, or
- Are breastfeeding
