Skin protection

Skin protectants need to be selected according to the skin hazards present at the particular workplace. After an in-depth hazard analysis, which will first of all assess how implementation of technical, organisational and personal protective measures might help (e.g. wearing gloves), skin protectants can be used as a preventive measure. If the optimum effect is to be achieved, it isvital that the right skin protectants be chosen for the specific contaminants encountered.
