Hello All,

Recently had issue regarding  worker with history of anaphylactic reaction to latex.  This situation was regarding maintenance (painting; using O VOC's latex) in hallway outside clinical area.  Individual had another entry/exit route to use but was also able to switch with another worker in another clinic for the day.

My questions:  Do you screen your employees, staff and travelers for latex allergy, and if so what precautions do you have for preventing their exposure to latex.

Thank you in advance,

Therese Bovee McKelvey, MN, RN  Supervisor - Employee Health
