When a pregnant woman is exposed to electromagnetic fields in the course of her work, her exposure is kept as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account existing recommendations for good practice, and in any case below the limit values for public exposure to electromagnetic fields.
It is forbidden to employ pregnant or breastfeeding women to work with compressed air-powered jackhammers.
It is forbidden to employ pregnant or breast-feeding women in the following work and to allow them to work on a regular basis in the premises assigned to this work: 1° Preparation and packaging of thiophosphoric esters; 2° Use of mercury and its compounds in secreting work in the hair-cutting industry.
It is prohibited to assign or maintain pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers in workstations exposing them to the following chemical agents: 1° Chemical agents that meet the criteria for classification as toxic for reproduction category 1A, 1B, or additional category for effects on or via breastfeeding as defined in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008; 2° Benzene;…

The breastfeeding room provided for in article L. 1225-32 is: 1° Separated from any work premises; 2° Ventilated and equipped with windows or other openings with movable frames giving direct access to the outside; 3° Provided with a continuous air renewal system; 4° Suitably lit; 5° Provided with sufficient water or close to a washbasin; 6° Provided with seats suitable for breastfeeding; 7° Kept in a constant state of cleanliness….
In establishments subject to special health and safety provisions at work, the breastfeeding room is separate from any room used for work for which these special provisions have been laid down. This separation is such that the room is protected against the risks which motivated these provisions.
Children may only stay in the breastfeeding room for as long as is necessary for breastfeeding. No child suffering from or appearing to suffer from a contagious disease may be admitted to this room. Measures are taken to prevent any risk of contamination. A child who, after admission, appears to be suffering from a contagious disease must not be kept on the premises.
The breastfeeding room is large enough to accommodate a number of children under the age of one, given the number of women employed in the establishment.
