Fragrance sensitivity, Perfume intolerance, Chemical Sensitivity

It’s going to be difficult to pinpoint any one scent perpetrator since they can come from lotions, shampoos and other products. The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) offers this series of symptoms that can help you determine whether an employee has a vulnerability to fragrances:

  • Frequent headaches
  • Respiratory ailments
  • Nausea
  • Itchy or burning eyes
  • Sneezing, runny nose or congestion
  • Difficulty with concentration

And in more severe cases, individuals may be afflicted with a skin allergy called contact dermatitis, which causes redness, itching and burning of the skin. Whether fragrance sensitivity becomes a medical condition is determined on a case-by-case basis.1

To help prevent an employee’s situation from worsening or possibly causing a leave of absence, implementing a few modifications may be in order. Here are a few suggestions to consider.2

  • Maintain good indoor air quality
  • Discontinue the use of fragranced products
  • Use only unscented cleaning products
  • Provide scent-free meeting rooms and restrooms
  • Modify workstation location
  • Modify the work schedule
  • Allow for fresh air breaks
  • Provide an air purification system
  • Modify communication methods
  • Modify or create a fragrance-free workplace policy
  • Telework
