Chapter 6
New and expectant mothers
[ch 6: pages 36-37]The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to pay particular attention to the possible risks faced by homeworkers who are new or expectant mothers.
Risks include those to the unborn child or to the child of a woman who is still breast-feeding — as well as risks to the mother herself.
A new or expectant mother means a worker who is pregnant, who has given birth within the previous six months, or who is breastfeeding.
