Role of corporate policy in the control of reproductive hazards of the workplace.

Corporations are responsible for providing workplaces that will not cause harm to employees. Other than in very small companies, there is a recognized need for the corporation to establish and make known policies on various subjects. A policy statement about employee exposures is recommended, along with several paragraphs describing the methods of implementing the policy statement. This information is important in large corporations so that all concerned know the intent of those responsible for the affairs of the corporation. Special attention is given to the subject of potential hazards to reproductive functions of employees or to their unborn children.
