Health and Safety Statement - Use of Scents

Due to health concerns arising from exposure to scented products, the
BC Archives endeavours to provide a scent-free environment for staff, volunteers and others using our facilities.  We ask all individuals to refrain from wearing scented soaps, perfumes, lotions, colognes, aftershave, hairsprays etc. while using the facilities. 

 

Studies have shown that in sufficient concentrations, scented products may be harmful to those with allergies, environmental sensitivities or chronic heart or lung diseases.

 

The BC Archives reserves the right to suspend the access privileges of persons who to continue to wear scent, after having been requested not to do so, when it interferes with the operations of our facilities or compromises the health and safety of staff, volunteers or researchers.
