Workplace Hazards

It is usually safe for you to work up until the end of your pregnancy. However, there are some workplace hazards that can affect your reproductive health and fertility and there are things employers can do to make the workplace a safe and healthy one for people who are trying to get pregnant, who are pregnant or who are chest/breastfeeding. Check out the link on this page to learn more about your rights as a pregnant worker, work tasks to avoid while pregnant, and information for employers.
