Popis:	The health professional who is involved in communicating information about reproductive risks from occupational hazards needs to consider several important aspects. Uncertainties in risk assessmenl, timing of exposure in relation to pregnancy, and the consequences of different preventive measures for the woman (family), as well as for the employer and other persons at the workplace are examples of such aspects. The basis for the pregnant woman's perception of risk must be recognized. The risk-communication goal is that the persons concerned fully understand the risk and its possible consequences, so that they win be able make informed decisions about how to act. More attention should be given to risk communication in the training of health professionals.
