(91/C 25/04) 
Recital 9 is amended as follows: 
'Whereas pregnant workers, women workers who 
have recently given birth and those who are breast­
feeding must be considered a specific risk group in 
many respects, and that measures must be taken with 
regard to their health and safety;'. 
Recital 13 is amended as follows: 
'Whereas the purpose of the period of leave from 
work — namely, the protection of the health of 
pregnant women or women who have recently given 
birth and those who are breastfeeding — would not 
be achieved unless accompanied by the maintenance 
of rights, without which, for example, some of these 
women would be forced to give up most of their 
period of leave in order not to lose their 
remuneration; consequently maintenance of 
employment and income rights should be guaranteed 
during the period;'. 
Article 1 is amended as follows: 
'Article 1 
The object of this Directive, which is an individual 
directive within the meaning of Article 16 (1) of 
Directive 89/391 /EEC, is to implement measures to 
encourage improvements in the safety and health of 
pregnant workers, women workers who have recently 
given birth and women who are breastfeeding.'

Article 2 
For the purposes of this Directive "pregnant 
workers", "women workers who have recently given 
birth" and "women who are breastfeeding" shall 
refer to pregnant workers, those who have recently 
given birth and those who are breastfeeding and who 
duly notify their employer of their condition, either 
in person or through a medical practitioner or other 
competent medical authority, in accordance with 
legal provisions or national practices.' 
Articles 3 and 4 are amended as follows: 
Article 3 
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 4 
and 6 of Directive 89/391/EEC, the Member States 
shall ensure that the competent safety and health 
authorities carry out a general assessment of the 
chemical, physical and biological agents and 
industrial processes considered dangerous to the 
health and safety of the workers referred to in Article 
1. This general assessment must also cover physical 
movements and postures, mental and physical fatigue 
and other types of physical stress. The results of this 
assessment shall be made known to employers and 
workers in order to inform them of the potential 
hazards and to improve the basis for assessment at 
the workplace.
