New and expectant mothers
You need to provide facilities for pregnant workers, or new mothers, to rest. When needed you also need to provide facilities for them to lie down.
You can find out more information on what you must consider if you have any new or expectant mothers in your workplace on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) website.
Visit the HSE site for guidance on employees who are new or expectant mothers
People with disabilities
You need to ensure that people with disabilities can access your buildings and be able to use the facilities within. To guarantee this you may have to make some changes to the premises, such as doors, passageways, stairs, showers, washbasins, lavatories or workstations.
