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”. 

On-site, we only need the use of a convenient room near to the workforce and then our Occupational Health Nurse will simply work through those exposed staff and in whatever order or timetable that suits production. As we conduct each skin check, we will explain the results to the employee and give skin care advice as appropriate. At the end of the day the Occupational Health Advisor will give a quick debrief to the Manager and a few days later Everwell will issue a summarised Management report for your records. We retain all records confidentially and as dictated by the appropriate regulations. Having previous records also allows us to make comparisons, on subsequent visits, to detect any early signs of any abnormal detriation in skin condition and any early signs of Occupational Dermatitis and therefore help tackle any issues before they become a more serious problem.

Further information on this subject can be found in the HSE guidance G403 - Health Surveillance for Occupational Dermatitus.
