The skin care solutions specialist Deb has designed a new app that helps industrial workers and their employers choose the right creams to keep their skin safe and healthy.
EnviroDerm Services says that it spends a considerable amount of time keeping up to date with what is happening in the fields of dermatology and skin management so as to ensure that its courses reflect the latest knowledge and techniques in what is a complex and constantly developing field.

Arco will present their training and consultancy offer during this year’s Safety & Health Expo including its programmes on confined spaces, working at height and hazard control. The Hull-based family run company will also be hosting a variety of live demonstrations.
At work, the skin is often exposed to difficult conditions, whether that be due to the cold, frost, UV exposure or contaminants; from dust and solvents to oils and paints.
