Scent-Safe Workplace Policy

The Region is committed to minimizing the health impacts caused by chemicals/scents to provide a healthy and safe environment for everyone.

The chemicals used in scented products and fragrances can make some people sick. All employees and visitors are asked to refrain from using scented products in the workplace or from bringing scented products into Regional facilities. Wearing added fragrances, such as perfume, cologne or body spray, to Regional facilities is not permitted.

The Region has endorsed a policy of purchasing scent-reduced and environmentally friendly products, where possible.
