Workers are often unaware of latex allergy risk in the workplace. This can result in potentially serious health problems. Minimize risk and prevent possible health problems by following these recommendations from NIOSH:

• Use non-latex gloves (such as nitrile, PVC) whenever possible (e.g. non-infectious materials, routine housekeeping etc.).
• If latex gloves are the best choice, use powder-free gloves with reduced protein (<50 micrograms/gram extractable protein) and low levels of residual chemical accelerants.
• Develop and implement appropriate safe work practices to reduce chances of latex exposures.
• Develop and provide training to employees on latex allergy.
• Learn to recognize the symptoms of latex allergy.
