Safety tip: Indoor air quality
October 9, 2012
Some people are very sensitive to chemicals, including those found in perfumes, candles,
potpourris, scented oil diffusers, and air fresheners. These chemicals can cause headaches
and respiratory problems, and can trigger allergic reactions such as asthma. Before
you use these products in your work space, it is worth considering their potential
effect on others.
Safety is the responsibility of everyone at UAF.
When you see something that looks unsafe, say something. Your effort could help prevent
a serious injury. You can easily report unsafe conditions 24/7 by using the Unsafe Condition Report.
