The Pregnancy Risk Assessment document is a legally required instrument under Belgian labor law, implementing EU Directive 92/85/EEC and local regulations. It must be conducted when an employee notifies their pregnancy or when planning for roles that may be filled by pregnant workers. This assessment systematically evaluates workplace risks including physical demands, chemical exposures, biological agents, and working conditions that could affect pregnant workers. The document serves as both a risk identification tool and an action plan, outlining necessary workplace adaptations and protective measures. It requires regular review and updating to maintain compliance with Belgian workplace safety regulations and to ensure continued protection of pregnant employees as workplace conditions evolve.
