With allergy season underway, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) has launched a series of tools and resources organizations can use to transition to a scent-free workplace. The “Scent-Free Zone” helps employers designate work areas as fragrance free, and reminds employees and visitors not to wear perfume, cologne, aftershave and other fragrances, and to use unscented personal care products. The “Air Aware” poster informs employees about the issue of scent sensitivities and how fragrances can impact the health of their coworkers. Download these posters for free on the
CCOHS website or purchase them as glossy prints. “I’m Air Aware” buttons can also be purchased for use as part of an air awareness campaign.
