limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation
will cause the employer an “undue hardship.”

– Receive appropriately sized uniforms/safety apparel
– Receive additional break time to use the bathroom, eat, rest
– Be excused from strenuous activities
