Skin Surveillance Testing
Occupational skin disease is a significant cause of occupational ill health. Your employees may be handling materials that can effect or pass through the skin, which can cause diseases elsewhere in the body.
Employers have a duty to assess the health risks from skin exposure to hazardous substances and as part of this, they need to have a Skin Management System. Skin surveillance is an essential part of any Skin Management System.
The test involves a skin health form first which records the information about the individuals workplace exposure. After that, they undergo a visual assessment of the skin and then a skin hydration test.
We must allow 20 - 25 minutes per person.
Milne Safety can provide Skin Surveillance on site at your premises. The requirements would be a suitable, private room at ambient temperature and suitable seating. If this is not an option at your work place, we can provide the testing at our premises in Wymondham.
