Abstract

MAESTRE NARANJO, María Ascensión et al. The role of an occupational health service in managing pregnancy risk. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.3, pp.113-120. ISSN 3020-1160.

The Misunderstanding between sick leave due to clinical risk during pregnancy and the situation of risk at work during pregnancy, as well as the paper work arising from this latest situation, has led to the creation of a protocol. It becomes essential to do a technical assessment of the work place, in order to determine the risks that the pregnant worker could be exposed, to avoid them being a risk to her safety, her health and her progeny. It is also important to mention the communication among all parts involved: clinical doctors, occupational health doctors and the Medical Unit of the local Direction of the National Institute of Social Insurance, for guidance and assessment in many cases.

Keywords : risk during pregnancy; pregnancy risk benefits; high risk pregnancy.
