perfumes and scents in hospitals?


Question:
Now all medical facilities require all employees to NOT wear any scents,If the employees still wear it and it has been complained about and nothing gets done,what governs to end the scents in the workplace of healthcare?We have several employees allergic and many patients,

Answers:
Most healthcare facilities have a policy about wearing TOO much perfume or scent -but do not forbid wearing some. The problem is that some people get used to what they wear and keep putting on too much. Wearing too much scent is a nuisance to most people, but not dangerous. Unfortunately, some people are very allergic and even a small amount can make them sick. If someone is offending others, their supervisor should be notified and the supervisor should talk to the employee. For a patient that is sensitive to scents - a sign should be posted on their door and only employees without perfume or scented products (including scented soaps and deodorant) should enter the room.
It would be nice to have a strict policy forbidding use of perfumes, but difficult to enforce - especially when so many personal products are scented.

Other Answers:
