Having a nightmare with my boss after receiving her risk assessment. I manage a privately owned pub and work upto 9 hours straight with no break, I’m now 17 weeks so asked for breaks in my shifts which legally in the uk I am entitled to after 6 hours. She finally gives in for my breaks but is saying it’s safe for me to go down the cellar untill my bump is bigger!! It’s a trap door in the floor basically and I have to go down when working alone. I really don’t know what to do! Can I just flat out refuse or do I need to get someone else involved as it’s surly an avoidable health risk!

I had a loss last April at 22 weeks pregnant and also suffer from hyperemisis gravidarum so I have previous and current health issues that haven’t even been considered
