Addressing the reality that many working materials can directly affect or even pass through the skin to cause disease. In exploring the critical issue of skin exposure – the illnesses arising from it, how to recognise and manage this potential hazard – this guide promotes compliance with the legal duties required in order to assess the known health risks. The broader scope of the issue is supported by more detailed coverage of how to reduce contact with harmful materials, procedures on choosing the correct protective equipment and skin care products and advice on how to check for early signs of skin disease.
