AGO Encourages Scent-Free Workplace

scent-free-1

Some of us love scents, while others are more sensitive to them.

Did you know that some people can experience severe and long lasting health effects when they are exposed to scented products?

Symptoms may include headache, sore throat, runny nose, sinus congestion, wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, anxiety, irritability, nausea, fatigue, visual disturbances, mental confusion and the inability to concentrate.

How can you help?

  • Please use only scent-free personal products before coming to the Gallery
  • Do not apply or spray any scented products in the volunteer lounge, or in public areas such as washrooms, change rooms or eating areas.
  • Do not use air fresheners or potpourris

For more information please contact Sandra Deike, Manager, Health & Safety, in the SVR office, or by calling 416 979 6660 ext. 532
