Latex allergy
There are many cases of workers suffering an allergic reaction to latex-lined gloves. Employers must ensure their workers are protected from exposure to harmful substances like latex. See, for example, the groundbreaking case of UNISON member Alison Dugmore.
The HSE’s Skin at work web pages at: www.hse.gov.uk/skin/index.htm, have information for employees and employers, including information on latex allergies.
