Individual Risk Assessment
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Must be done upon notification.
For Employees
Once you notify them in writing, they MUST do this. If you feel unsafe (lifting/chemicals), refuse the task until the assessment is done.
For Employers
Do not delay. If a pregnant employee is harmed because you didn't assess risks, the liability is massive.
Key Considerations
- Review regularly.
- Chemical/Lifting risks.
