If someone at work has scabies can you catch them?

Yes, scabies is highly contagious and can be transmitted through close physical contact with an infected person. The mites that cause scabies can survive for 2 to 3 days on clothing, bedding, or furniture, so indirect contact can also pose a risk. It's important to practice good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items to reduce the risk of transmission. If you suspect exposure, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
