Dermatology (Skin) Assessment
In industries like healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and hospitality, employees often face skin hazards that can cause irritation, rashes, and dermatitis. Dermatology assessments play a crucial role in identifying and addressing potential skin exposure issues. Through health surveillance, including questionnaires and skin examinations, employers meet legal requirements while promoting employee skin health.
How We Support You
Our dermatology assessment begins with a health surveillance questionnaire, which allows us to gather important information about your employees’ work environments, potential skin exposure risks, and any existing skin conditions or symptoms. This questionnaire serves as a valuable tool in assessing the overall skin health of your workforce and identifying potential areas of concern.
In addition to the questionnaire, our skilled healthcare professionals conduct a thorough skin examination of the hands and arms. This examination aims to detect any visible signs of skin irritation, inflammation, or occupational dermatitis. By carefully examining these areas, we can identify early warning signs and potential skin-related issues that may require further evaluation or intervention.
Upon completion of the assessment, we provide comprehensive feedback and recommendations to assist you in implementing appropriate control measures, training, and preventive measures. We can also advise on best practices for maintaining good skin health, including proper hygiene, the use of protective equipment, and the importance of regular skin checks.
