When scents offend!
Fragrances (scents) can affect not only the person wearing them, but those who come into contact with them. In ‘fragrance sensitive’ people these products can be irritating or even cause allergic reactions. One of the first signs of irritation from - or an allergic reaction to - a fragrance can be a skin rash after using a perfume, cream or lotion.
Anyone considering how to reduce exposure to scents at work may want to:
Identify the source of the problem Encourage employees to use scent-free products.
Purchase scent-free products for use in the workplace.
Reduce emissions from cleaning products and other sources of fragrances if possible. Keep scented detergents and soaps in sealed containers or a cupboard. For more on how to set up a ‘Scent-Free Policy’ visit the CCOHS website at: www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/hsprograms/scent_free.html
