Working with photocopiers

Hi I'm in early stages of pregnancy, after having a mmc at 6 weeks early August. Does anyone know if working with photocopiers harms the baby at all?? x

  • Hi hun, I looked into this as I was moved on to admin duties at work while I've been pregnant. According to the information online, there shouldn't be any issue with using photocopiers but you shouldn't be responsible for changing toner, more specifically emptying waste toner as apparently that's a carcinogenic. Hope this helps. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. xx
  • Thank you do much dottysbird x
  • As mentioned above you should avoid anything to do with changing the toner.  You may also want assistance moving full boxes of copier paper.  The general day to day photocopying should give you no trouble (I photocopied/scanned/faxed during both my pregnancies).
