New & Expectant Mothers Health and Safety Guidance Sheet

Supporting Pregnant Employees and New Parents at Work:

Creating a supportive workplace for pregnant employees and new parents is an important part of managing pregnancy at work, health, safety and wellbeing. Pregnancy and the transition into parenthood can bring changing physical, practical and personal needs, so employers should consider appropriate support and adjustments to help employees remain safe, comfortable and able to carry out their work.

 

What is a Health and Safety Guidance Sheet?

Our health and safety guidance sheets condense major areas of health and safety legislation into a simplified, easily digestible format. They provide essential knowledge to assist in addressing health and safety concerns, while reducing associated risks and helping to safeguard you and your team.

Whether you’re an employer, an employee or in a self-employed role, it’s good practice to be aware of potential health and safety issues and ensure that all activities adhere to health and safety regulations and guidelines.

 

Guidance sheet structure

Each guidance sheet provides a clear overview of the topic, in this case pregnant employees and new parents at work, alongside essential information, relevant regulations and good practice advice for managing health and safety in the workplace. It also includes a summary of the key points covered in the guidance.

 

Deliver professional safety briefings

Guidance sheets can be used to deliver professional safety briefings or informal group discussions. These briefings, often called Toolbox Talks, can be given daily to promote a safety culture within your business. They're an excellent way to refresh knowledge and to keep safety at the forefront of everyone’s mind.
