Can a safe job adjustment preserve a pregnant employee’s ability to keep working?
Examines risk assessment, job adaptations and return from preventive leave, showing how safe participation depends on changing work rather than simply changing the worker.
Study context
258 workplaces associated with pregnant workers on preventive leave in Switzerland.
Age / stage: Pregnant adult workers before childbirth.
Read with three questions
- How often was return possible after workplace adaptation?
- How did risk analysis, employer knowledge and timing of consultation relate to return?
- What distinguishes a predictor of return from proof that a particular adjustment caused it?
Keep the limits in view
A selected occupational-consultation sample and observational predictors do not establish causal effects or the safety of an individual placement; Swiss preventive-leave rules are context-specific.
