Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on work-related contact dermatitis.
Understand
Work-related contact dermatitis is a skin disease that develops when the skin's barrier layer is damaged by workplace substances. It commonly affects the hands, forearms, and face, and can be severe enough to keep employees off work or force them to change jobs.
Risk assessments must evaluate all products that employees come into contact with that could cause skin harm. Avoiding contact with harmful substances where possible is the first line of defence. Employers must provide protective resources including suitable gloves and moisturiser, with the right type of glove depending on the specific substances being handled.
Staff must be made aware of potential skin issues and instructed to check their hands regularly for early symptoms such as redness, itching, dryness, or cracking. Employees should be encouraged to report symptoms promptly so treatment can begin while it is most effective. Dermatitis caught early is far easier to manage than advanced cases.
