What kind of workplace hazards should my employer be paying particular attention to if I am pregnant?

This depends on the kind of work you do, but things to look out for include:

• Exposure to lead, and certain other chemicals.
• Working with ionising radiation.
• Lifting and other physical work.
• Slips.
• Stress.
• Standing up for long periods.
• Heat.
• Bad smells which may make morning sickness worse.
• Violence, for example if you work with members of the public.
• Exposure to vibration, such as riding in off-road vehicles.
