Risk-Assessment at work

[PerfectlyPosed]

When I was pregnant with DD, I told my work and was immediately produced with a load of risk-assessment paperwork to check that my chair was positioned correctly, I had enough breaks, etc.

Now I'm pregnant with DC2 but my current boss hasn't mentioned it. He's the sort of person that won't know something like that unless I do the research and tell him.

So is it something that is legally required or is it down to the individual employer? I don't feel in any way that I am at risk but I want to make sure everything is done properly.

Any advice welcome. Thanks

I'm pretty sure they should do one... Worth an ask I think :-)

There's no legal requirement to do one just because someone is pregnant - as long as they've done a general one for all staff.
I didn't get one as a teacher because I don't work with chemicals and I didn't feel I needed anything extra, or that I couldn't do bits of my job. If there's specific things that you want to ask for/not do then you can ask for a risk assessment. Otherwise you can just leave it.

Thank you all for your replies. That's very helpful.
