I am pregnant and at work my boss has produced a fairly comprehensive risk assessment. Its four pages includes risks that I would never come across.
For example it says I am not to clear up bodily fluids. But then I am an IT technician I am not paid to clear up kids' wee or vomit. I have never done so and don't ever intend to.
The risk assessment suggests that I wear a face mask every time I change an inkjet cartridge. The kids are going wet themselves laughing. (Prehaps that is why the risk assessment menntions bodily fluids)
Supposely I am not supposed to do any manual handling whatsoever or to climb under desks. There is no guidence of how my wieght I am allowed to carry. For example am I allowed to carry an inkjet cartridge. (wearing gloves ofcourse)
It makes it a bit hard for me to do my job. The risk assessment will still be in force if even I choose to breastfeed until two years. I am in excellent health and just over 12 weeks pregnant.
