Moroccan / Belgian Law and Maternity Protection

The Moroccan or Belgian pregnant woman during her employment contract benefits from a very protective status, defined by law, and possibly improved by the collective agreement of the company. These are professional separation measures taken with regard to pregnant or breastfeeding women, taking into account the risks that the continuation or resumption of their duties would cause them or their child (ren). . The state of health of working women is altered which can be detrimental not only to the woman but also to the newborn. Consequently, a distinction must be made between, on the one hand, workers who exercise a so-called ¿risky¿ occupation for pregnancy, and therefore subject to the application of legislation relating to maternity protection, and, on the other on the other hand, workers who exercise a profession without effects on pregnancy and therefore not subject to this legislation. The role of the occupational physician is aimed at Participation, risk analysis, Health Surveillance in the context of maternity as well as making recommendations to the employer.
