Fragrance Free Support Statement

Support Statement

We ask that you kindly consider the health and well-being of your coworkers. If you are able, please refrain from wearing and/or spraying chemicals such as perfumes, cologne, and scented products in the work areas.

Considering those sensitive to chemicals or fragrances, we have a fragrance-free support statement for staff that works in our shared and open workspace. This consideration will help to ensure that our space is accessible and available to all members of our community - including those who have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) or chemical injuries. The health effects of fragrances - ranging in severity from mild to debilitating - may include headaches, migraines, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, and wheezing. For some people, especially those with asthma and other respiratory disorders, exposure to fragrances can trigger the need for emergency medical treatment.
