Latex: How we work

HSE aims to reduce the health and safety risks at work through inspection and guidance, and the development and maintenance of publications and procedures. HSE also provides technical advice and input to standards and changes to the law.

HSE works with other organisations to reduce the risks involved in the use of latex and latex products at work:

• The Latex Allergy Support Group
• The National Patients Safety Agency
• Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
• The Association of British Healthcare Industries
• Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP)
• The Royal College of Nursing
• Department of Health
• Unison
• TUC

Thank you also to the many health care providers and professionals who assisted with the site.
