Just had my risk assessment done on my job-yeah 6 months pregnant a bit late!
I am so angry I could cry.
basically I am an antisocial behaviour officer who deals with all neighbour complaints, issues warnings to council and private owners etc, obtains ASBO's on certain people.
Now I do not feel comfortable going out on my own doing this as I am 6months pregnant, huge, tired, and asthma kicks in bad if I walk far. I also have Hyper Mobilitly Syndrome which means that my legs can dsilocate at anytime-like they did with rebecca and I ended up in plaster cast ankle to thigh.
Now I have specified with my line manager I dont want to be out alone, and if i have to do any visits I want to be accompanied, as people can be obstinate and very aggressive. He said he doesnt see any problem me being out (in the shitiest estates in Edinurgh) on my own-wtf!
Should I go to the Dr-he wanted to sign me off the rest of my pregnancy due to the hypermobility as the discs in my back were loose. Ive had enough. I am not willing to put me or my baby at risk. I want to get a letter from my Dr to say she isnt to walk far or climb stairs often (i was advised this by him 3 weeks ago).
What do you all think? sorry for the long rant but I am so annoyed/upset. This is a high risk job for violence/aggression from people and I dont want to do it alone. People in other departments get lighter duties!
