Hi.
I'm 5weeks 1day so not far along. I'm wanting to know if it's safe to still aluminium during pregnancy? I work in a factory helping to prep conservatory roofs.
Any advice would be appreciated x

Are you using the drills? Are they pillar drills or hand drills? What PPE and RPE are you issued with? Is there any powered ventilation?

Your employer has a duty to risk assess your work when you are present, by of course that means telling them about the pregnancy which I understand you may not want to do yet.

Have you got easy access to the risk assessments for working with the materials and machinery? They will describe the health risks.
