Workplace Skin Surveillance
Everwell Occupational Health offers a UK wide on-site service for skin checks. As with all Everwell’s other Health Surveillance and Medical Screening services, our skin checking service is very convenient, simple to engage and causes minimal disruption with the medical review taking only 10 – 15 minutes per employee.
The service is compliant with the statutory Health Surveillance requirements as laid down by the HSE or more specifically under COSHH regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002) for products labelled R43 — ”may cause sensitisation by skin contact”.
Repeated exposure to certain substances or skin irritation can lead to dermatitis. If the signs are detected early enough and corrective action is taken then the problem can be reduced or cured completely. However if left untreated then the dermatitis can become irreversible and exposure to even a small amount of the problem substance can trigger a bad reaction.
