M4:5 Think About It / Group Exercise

I would develop and implement a fragrance-free policy in a hospital, school, or other institutional setting by stating good reason as to why such a policy will have to be in place. It would not be ethical to say for instance, nurses can no longer wear perfume to work at Kaiser. The policy would be better written by saying, due to substantial evidence of potential health risks caused by fragrance in many perfume products, it is now hospital policy that all staff at Kaiser are required to not wear any products with fragrance. 

shouldn't policies state the WHY in them? like you can't do this because of that. You can not wear anything with fragrance because studies show that fragrance has the potential of causing cancer.

elements of an ideal chemical/fragrance policy should have ethical standards. Reasons of why you are wanting to make the change and evidence based policies. My policy would eliminate or decrease body burdens and exposures because in my hospital example, vulnerable patients will not be exposed to fragrance toxins. Policies should have the best interest of someone in mind. 

as I remember in my policy class, there will always be a winner and a loser in policy making. in my example, the winners are the patients who are in a vulnerable sick stage, and the losers will be those people who take a bath in their perfume.
