- the risk assessment for pregnant workers is an additional risk assessment which is to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the framework Directive. This risk assessment must take into account the preventive aspects of the framework Directive and should also at least refer to the potential risks to pregnant workers, in so far as such risks are known (e.g. risks related to certain chemicals, etc).
