This fact sheet is about pregnancy and ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker, rather than fitting the worker to the job. You should also be aware of the possible dangers from chemical exposures in your workplace, which can be the most harmful during the first trimester (three months) of pregnancy. The Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers, Inc. can give you chemical hazard information. This factsheet is about ergonomic hazards which are a problem mainly in the last trimester (three months) of pregnancy.

In many workplaces there are risks which may affect the health and safety of new and expectant mothers and that of their child. In most cases, pregnancy goes undetected for the first 4-6 weeks. There are specific laws which require employers to protect the health and safety of new and expectant mothers. No publisher whig pregancy maternity mothers 2007-08-02T10:24:05Z File
