Human resources ultimately represents the company . A pregnant employee should be wearing ppe when handling xylene. MSDS forms are accessible to all employees, just a click away on the computer. I can understand wanting to keep some things private until you are ready to communicate them, but when you work with chemicals such as xylene and you are pregnant making sure you are wearing the proper PPE and the air quality meets OSHA standards comes first. I don't think the information communicated by HR to your supervisors should become common knowledge, but there is an obligation to protect the employee as well as the employer,
