What happens if you are pregnant and you are delivering the letter by foot. What do they do for you? surely this is dangerous being pregnant?

Congratulations.

They should carry out a risk assessment. Bearing in mind safe weight to carry, stress, terrain etc

However lots more details in a fairly recent thread here http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=54257" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Fishtanks post in that thread has 2 very good links.

If you are pregnant I would advise that depending how far you are ,you should come off delivery work. A recent pregnant lady at Grimsby had a fall and fractured her wrist.........was a risk assessment done .? Yes the day after !
