Scented Products Awareness Guideline
The Upper Canada
District School Board (UCDSB) is committed to a safe, healthy, and respectful
workplace, and learning environment for staff, students, caregivers, community
partners, and all other persons who are invited to or who work on Board-owned
or leased property.
Staff, students,
volunteers, and visitors need to be mindful that scented products may be
problematic for many individuals, and therefore, refraining from wearing or
using scented products on Board or Board-leased premises, during
Board-sanctioned activities, as well as on school buses is requested.
Please
find at the following link, the School Board Scented Products Awareness Guideline. The Guideline has had input from the UCDSB
Joint Health & Safety Committee and has been reviewed by Executive Council
and Operations Council.
All UCDSB students and staff need to be aware about the effect that scents can have on individuals. Scent Awareness Posters will be posted at entrances and in highly visible locations in all schools and work locations.

you have further questions about the guideline, please contact:
