NEWS DRIVING BEST PRACTICE THROUGH
3-MOMENTS OF SKIN CARE Every day, more than one in 10 workers suffer from dermatitis – sore and inflamed skin on the hands which can make routine manual tasks a challenge.
Dermatitis is just one of a number of Occupational Skin Disorders (OSDs) which collectively pose a threat to health, safety and efficiency in the workplace, as well as to the mental, physical and social wellbeing of the individuals affected.
Deb, the occupational hand hygiene and skin care specialists, is shining a light on the importance of the 3-Moments of Skin Care – a universal best practice standard for skin care which heralds a breakthrough in the fight against OSDs.
The recently launched whitepaper, ‘Preventing Occupational Skin Disorders: Skin Care Best Practice’,
clearly re-affirms the 3-Moments of Skin Care as the industry standard for skin care and explains how businesses can adopt these three moments to improve skin behaviour compliance in the workplace.
The 3-Moments of Skin Care is the work of an expert panel of eight international dermatologists who have combined their wealth of experience and a comprehensive analysis of 75 published occupational skin care studies.
These three moments identify when skin care action is required, more importantly highlighting when skin protection or restorative creams should be applied by workers – before starting work, after washing hands (during work) and after finishing work.
Paul Jakeway, Marketing Director at Deb, says: “The aim of the 3-Moments of Skin Care is to help occupational health and safety professionals develop a culture where skin health is considered a priority and where the wider workforce can understand, address and improve skin care behaviour compliance. We believe it will form the catalyst for change in skin care behaviour.”
The 3-Moments of Skin Care is implemented in the DebSafe skin care programme for industry, which aims to drive positive and sustainable behaviour change, increase skin care compliance, change workplace culture, and ultimately, ensure healthy skin remains a priority in the workplace.
