Dermatitis H&S Guidance Sheet

Managing dermatitis in the workplace:

Dermatitis, a common skin condition, can significantly impact workers in various industries. It results from exposure to allergens or irritants, particularly in sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, or food service. Dermatitis can cause discomfort, itching, and even open sores, affecting job performance and potentially leading to prolonged absences.

As an employer, you can reduce the impact of dermatitis through increased knowledge, improved safety measures, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and employee training to create a healthier and more productive work environment.

What is a H&S guidance sheet?

Our health & safety guidance sheets condense major areas of health & safety legislation into a simplified, easily digestible format. They provide essential knowledge to assist in addressing health & safety concerns, while reducing associated risks and helping to safeguard you and your team.

Whether you’re an employer, an employee or in a self-employed role, it’s good practice to be aware of potential H&S issues and ensure that all activities adhere to H&S regulations and guidelines.

Guidance sheet structure:

Each guidance sheet provides an overview of the subject matter, in this case Dermatitis, along side essential information, regulations and good practice advice for applying H&S legislation within your workplace. There's also a summary section covering the main learnings of the sheet.

Deliver professional safety briefings.

Guidance sheets can be used to deliver professional safety briefings or informal group discussions. These briefings, often called Toolbox Talks, can be given daily to promote a safety culture within your business. They're an excellent way to refresh knowledge and to keep safety at the forefront of everyone’s mind.
