ABSTRACT
Additionally, safety professionals should be aware that the protections can be afforded to employees under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act under conditions beyond pregnancy, including such areas as in vitro fertilization. Safety professionals should also be aware that protections under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act may extend to the spouses of the pregnant female employee.†
Safety professionals should be aware that the basic requirement of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act is to treat a pregnant employee the same as you would treat any other employee with a temporary disability, ascertaining and accommodating their ability or inability to perform the job.
