How Many Hours Can Pregnant Women Work by Law?

Legally, pregnant women can continue to work the average 40 hours a week or the hours that they were working previously. However, a pregnant employee must only continue to work these hours if it is safe to do so, physically and emotionally. If a pregnant employee can’t continue to perform their role safely, then their hours could be reduced or changes must be made.

How do I Conduct a Risk Assessment for Pregnant Workers?

A risk assessment is a health and safety obligation for UK employers to ensure their workplace is a safe area to work.
