Latex Allergy Awareness

Many workers routinely use latex products in their everyday work. For example, they may use latex gloves, work with tires, or wear elastic fabrics. Unfortunately, for some workers, exposure to latex may result in allergic reactions. Even people who have never had a reaction before could begin to develop symptoms. By reducing exposure to latex and detecting reaction symptoms early, you can help prevent long-term health effects.
