Systemised skin safety solution

It is estimated by the HSE, that from
reported cases of occupational skin
disease diagnosed by specialist
physicians, approximately 70% of
these cases are contact dermatitis.

The cost implications of this
problem can be significant and are
widely accepted to be under reported.

Occupational skin problems not only
mean personal costs for the
employee, but there are also
disruption costs to businesses such as
lost productivity through employee
absence from work and low morale.

With World Day for Safety and
Health at Work approaching in April,
Christine Mottershead, marketing
director at skincare expert Deb
suggests a fresh approach to the issue
“It is important to look at the needs
of every employee in the workplace,
not just those who require PPE,”
explains Mottershead. “Organisations
should work with companies who are
experts in skin care to provide a
systemised skin safety solution.”
