How do we protect a pregnant colleague without excluding them by default?
Proposes a more consistent assessment of physical, chemical and biological work hazards, balancing protection with the risk of unnecessary exclusion from work.
Study context
Occupational and sports medicine experts contributing to a Croatian workshop on pregnant workers’ risk assessment.
Age / stage: Healthy pregnant workers; expert-derived criteria.
Read with three questions
- How were legal material, scientific evidence and expert views combined?
- Which physical, chemical and biological exposures were included?
- What validation is still needed before proposed criteria become a workplace decision rule?
Keep the limits in view
Expert-derived criteria are not a prospective safety or effectiveness trial; occupational assessments require source-appropriate expertise and jurisdiction-specific application.
