Skin matters
November 1st 2003

In most occupational health and safety training the consequences of workplace skin exposure are either not considered or else dealt with only superficially, claims EnviroDerm Services. The way in which the skin interacts with the environment is complex. There are many myths and misconceptions and, as a result, there are some employers who have taken action with the best of intentions only to increase the probability of damage to employees health from skin exposure. EnviroDerm Services one-day course COSHH, CHIP, Chemicals and the Skin aims to redress the lack of knowledge. A highly practical course, it will enable participants to understand the elements of an effective skin management system and how dermal exposure risk management can be carried out so that workers health is really protected, without unnecessary cost to the employer.
