Chemical/fragrance policy
A lot of people mean something that smells nice or perfume when they say "fragrance." However, exposures to fragrance can cause various health care complications and symptoms such as a headache, respiratory or neurotoxic symptoms, eye/nose/throat irritation, etc. Chemicals in fragrance are the number one cause of allergies. By implementing an "ideal" fragrance-free policy, we may, first of all, consider educating healthcare workers on all levels and patients and clients as well. Secondly, I believe every individual deserves to know what particular risks and health complications of every single product, which contains fragrance, may cause. Overall, I believe that the best option would be to create a policy, which would sound like "Every single product, e.g., cosmetics, shampoo, deodorant, air freshener, etc. that smells, or odors should be avoided in health care facilities (or other places depending on the organization policy and preferences).
