Who is the course designed for?
Occupational dermatitis remains one of the most common work-related health issues, affecting thousands of workers across a wide range of industries — from construction and manufacturing to hairdressing and decorating. Exposure to substances like wood dust, concrete, paints, and even hair products can cause serious and lasting skin conditions.
HSE requires that regular skin checks must be carried out by a trained, responsible person — and our new course is here to ensure your organisation meets that duty.
Whether your staff handle hazardous materials or work in environments where skin exposure is a risk, this course equips your chosen Responsible Person with the knowledge and practical skills to:
Carry out and record monthly skin checks
Understand their legal responsibilities under health and safety law
Identify early signs of dermatitis and other skin conditions
Follow best practice for reporting and preventing skin-related ill health
Having a trained Responsible Person in-house is not only efficient and cost-effective, it also supports better health outcomes for your team.
Why should you take this course?
As per HSE guidance, skin checks should be carried out by a Responsible Person and this person must have coaching/training.
Regular skin checks are also required for workers who may be exposed to substances known to cause dermatitis and other skin disorders.
Our half-day course gives your designated Responsible Person the tools to protect health and meet compliance.
Having a trained Responsible Person in-house is not only efficient and cost-effective, it also supports better health outcomes for your team.
Skin checks are advised to be carried out monthly for all relevant workers so having your own Responsible Person is efficient and cost effective.
