Chapter 6
Latex allergy
[ch 6: page 106]There have been 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 ground-breaking case of UNISON member Alison Dugmore (pages 98-99).
The HSE’s Skin at work web pages have information on latex allergies (www.hse.gov.uk/skin/employ/latex.htm).
