19 weeks pregnant-no work risk assessment

As per the title, third pregnancy in same profession (not with same employer) so I know how to stay safe (clinical work-public facing/x-rays/anaesthetic gas etc) and h&s is well managed on the whole. 2/3 pregnant staff have had risk assessments done (3 months ago when returning to work after furlough) but no one seems to think it's their responsibility to do mine (we're managed by different senior staff). Management/directors have known for 6-8 weeks, it would just be nice to feel someone cared! Should I ask for one? I don't want to make a fuss or look to need special treatment, but I've never had one carried out and so could be missing things I don't know about. Experiences/helpful opinions appreciated please. Thank you.

Yes of course you should ask. This kind of thing isn’t usually upper most in the minds of line managers, rightly or wrongly, so they frequently need asking rather than expecting them to do it automatically (although of course that’s what should happen really).

Book it in with your line manager.
