Expectant Mothers Risk Assessment

This expectant mothers risk assessment template helps employers and managers review workplace risks for pregnant employees and new mothers. It guides you through physical demands such as manual handling, standing, walking, working at height, shift or lone work; mental demands including deadlines, changing priorities and concentration; and general working conditions like DSE, facilities, temperature, space and suitable seating. It covers specific hazards including chemicals, fumes, noise, dust, vibration, radiation, extremes of temperature, uneven or wet floors, lighting and PPE fit. Travel considerations for road, rail, air and sea are included, with advice to limit long journeys in later pregnancy. The template also prompts HR documentation such as pregnancy notification and MAT B1, Occupational Health referrals, review scheduling and required confirmations from both the employee and manager.
