CPP-HR_0212_Lactation Room Usage


1.0 Objective
            In recognition of the well documented health advantages of breastfeeding for infants and mothers,
      Infinit-O provides a supportive environment to enable breastfeeding employees to express their
      milk during work hours. This includes a company-wide lactation support program administered by
      Family Welfare Committee.

            Infinit-O subscribes to the following worksite support policy. This policy shall be communicated to
      all current employees and included in new employee orientation training.

2.0 Scope
      This policy shall apply to all employees regardless of their employment status.

3.0 Provisions
      3.1 Milk Expression Breaks
            3.1.1. Breastfeeding employees are allowed to breastfeed or express milk during work hours
            using their normal breaks and meal times. For time that may be needed beyond the usual break
            times, employees may use personal leave or may make up the time as negotiated with their
            supervisors.
      3.2. A Place to Express Milk
            3.2.1 A private room (not a toilet stall or restroom) shall be available for employees to breastfeed
            or express milk. The room will be private and sanitary, located near a sink with running water for
            washing hands and rinsing out breast pump parts, and have an electrical outlet. If employees
            prefer, they may also breastfeed or express milk in their own private offices, or in other
            comfortable locations agreed upon in consultation with the employee’s supervisor. Expressed milk
            can be stored [in general company refrigerators/in designated refrigerators provided in the
            lactation room or other location/in employee’s personal cooler].
      3.3. Breastfeeding Equipment
            3.3.1. Infinit-O will allow employees to bring their personal electric breast pumps to assist
                       breastfeeding employees with milk expression during work hours.
      3.4. Education
            3.4.1. Prenatal and postpartum breastfeeding classes and informational materials are available
                       for all mothers and fathers, as well as their partners.

4.0 Responsibility
      4.1. Employer’s Responsibilities
                  Immediate Supervisors are responsible for alerting pregnant and breastfeeding
            employees about the company’s worksite lactation support program, and for
            negotiating policies and practices that will help facilitate each employee’s infant
            feeding goals. It is expected that all employees will assist in providing a positive
            atmosphere of support for breastfeeding employees.
      4.2. Employees’ Responsibilities
            4.2.1. Communication with Supervisors Employees who wish to express milk during the work period shall                        keep supervisors informed of their needs so that appropriate accommodations can be made to satisfy the                  needs of both the employee and the company.
            4.2.2. Maintenance of Milk Expression Areas
                        Breastfeeding employees are responsible for keeping milk expression areas clean, using antimicrobial                   wipes to clean the pump and area around it. Employees are also responsible for keeping the general                   lactation room clean for the next user. This responsibility extends to both designated milk expression                   areas, as well as other areas where expressing milk will occur.
            4.2.3. Milk Storage
                  Employees should label all milk expressed with their name and date collected
                  so it is not inadvertently confused with another employee’s milk. Each
                  employee is responsible for proper storage of her milk using [company
                  provided refrigerator/personal storage coolers].
            4.2.4. Use of Break Times to Express Milk
                  When more than one breastfeeding employee needs to use the designated
                  lactation room, employees can use the sign-in log provided in the room to
                  negotiate milk expression times that are most convenient or best meet their
                  needs.
