Pump Act Readiness (Part 1): 15-Minute Site Audit

Most nursing employees are entitled to reasonable break time and a private, functional space to pump each time they need to for up to one year after childbirth, and never in a bathroom, according to the PUMP Act. Do a quick audit this week!

Your 7-point walk-through:

  • Location: Near work areas; not a bathroom.
  • Privacy: Door/lock or equivalent; shielded from view, free from intrusion.
  • Basics: Chair, flat surface, power outlet; clean and usable.
  • Availability: Accessible whenever needed (backup option for overlap).
  • Signage/booking: Clear indicators to prevent walk-ins; simple access process.
  • Manager know-how: No limits on frequency/duration; support variability.
  • Storage: Clean, nearby milk storage (fridge/cooler policy).
