There is now a growing awareness among employers and employees of the importance of skin care, particularly for the hands and forearms. It is now widely seen as essential to regard skin and hand care as an ongoing concern for all occupations, applying sensible working practices and also using an appropriate range of creams and lotions before, during and after work, to help working hands remain healthy.

 

While keeping hands clean and healthy, such good practice also helps prevent staff from joining the large numbers of people living through the hazard of occupational dermatitis. Aside from the discomfort and misery for individuals, work-related skin disease is an enormous cost to employers.

In the mid-nineties the Health and Safety Executive estimated that over 60,000 people in Great Britain were suffering from a skin disease caused by work, resulting in around half a million lost working days per year.

Skin Disease Warning
Employees in some business sectors are generally regarded as being at higher risk to skin disease than others. These include hairdressing, catering and cleaning, engineering, construction, the printing and chemical industries, as well as agriculture and health care. However, it is also stressed that skin problems can affect people working in all sectors, so sensible skin management should be a concern for everyone.

 

 

The cleaning and care of hands is an integral part of this management process. For example, creams applied before work provide protection against a range of potential hazards.

 

Hands need to be kept clean through washing and drying , and the use of specially formulated skin cleansers can dislodge grime and irritants without disrupting the delicate chemical and structural balance of the skin. Finally, the use of a restorative cream after work, helps the skin to remain healthy. Read More>>
