Preventing Dermatitis and Urticaria

Employers are required to prevent or, where that is not reasonably practicable, adequately control exposure to materials in the workplace that cause ill health like dermatitis.

(COSHH) require employers to:

• assess risks;
• provide adequate control measures – and ensure the use and maintenance of these;
• provide information, instruction and training; and
• in appropriate cases, provide health surveillance.
