Your skin protection concept for the workplace
As is well known, prevention is the best medicine – especially when it comes to protecting our skin in the workplace. Whether it’s on the construction site, in the laboratory or while cleaning, different activities require different protective measures to keep heavily stressed skin healthy.
A skin protection concept therefore represents a comprehensive approach to protecting skin health in the workplace. It involves various measures and strategies designed to reduce the risk of harmful substances and conditions, prevent skin diseases and boost general skin care.
An effective occupational skin protection concept should begin with preparatory measures before the actual work is carried out and continue with gentle cleaning and effective care after the occupational activities. In doing so, all measures are harmonised and tailored to the specific health risks.
PCH provides you with support in systematically integrating skin protection into your working life. An individually customised skin protection plan becomes indispensable. This includes a number of different components such as skin protection, skin cleansing, skin care and hand sanitisation.
The elements that make up an effective skin protection plan:
- Skin protection: Direct contact with potentially harmful substances puts the most strain on the skin. Protective ointments, creams or gels help prevent the penetration of these substances and build an effective barrier.
- Skin cleansing: It is crucial that the right cleaning agents are chosen. They have to remove dirt and harmful substances residue-free without putting additional strain on the skin.
- Skin care: Care products containing regenerative properties preserve the barrier function of stressed skin. They compensate for the loss of moisture and lipids suffered by the skin due to stress.
Step by step towards an efficient skin protection concept:
- Definition of the work area/activity
- Identification and assessment of skin hazards
- Determination and implementation of protective measures
- Documentation of the measures undertaken
- Monitoring the effectiveness of and adherence to safety measures by employees
An effective skin protection concept therefore constitutes an essential part of occupational safety and makes a significant contribution to health and safety in the workplace.
