Giving safe work instead of hazardous chemical work to a pregnant worker is an example of what?

Correct answer: Health-based work adaptation

The direct answer is B, health-based work adaptation. Pregnancy can create special health and safety needs, especially around toxic chemicals, heavy loads, radiation, infection, or unsafe physical conditions. Moving a pregnant worker from hazardous chemical work to a safe suitable task is a protective adjustment intended to reduce risk to the worker and developing baby. It is not automatically discriminatory removal, because the worker is not being rejected from employment; the duties are being modified safely. Option B is correct. Option A would apply if the worker were unfairly excluded without a genuine safety reason or reasonable alternative. Option C, wage reduction, is about pay and is not described here. Option D, skill loss, is not the purpose or necessary result of a safe temporary adjustment. Good practice includes consultation, safe duties, and respect for the worker’s rights. Memory cue: pregnancy plus dangerous exposure means protection and suitable work adaptation.
