Use the mildest yet effective cleaner to remove soils.
• Keep tools clean to help keep hands clean.
• Wear PPE, including gloves, whenever possible to protect skin from chemicals and other substances harmful to your skin. If PPE is not available, avoid con- tact with irritants.
• Change work clothes at least daily, including overalls. Be sure to wash work clothes separately from other laundry so contaminants aren’t spread to other clothing.
• Use chemicals as instructed.
• Observe and report changes in skin condition.
Don’ts of Skin Care
• Never expose unprotected skin to harsh chemicals.
• Never use harsh detergents, solvents or chemicals such as gasoline, turpen- tine or benzene to clean your hands.
Always use an approved skin-cleansing product. • Never eat, drink or smoke with dirty hands. Harmful chemicals can enter the body through the mouth and could
damage vital organs. • Don’t use regular bar or lotion soap if your hands are full of grease and grime. A weak soap can cause you to scrub too hard to get your hands clean. Use the appropriate
hand cleaner.
• Don’t use abra-
sives or brushes not designed for your skin. They can cause damage.
• Never wipe your hands on a dirty shop towel. Shop towels can contain metal shavings or other debris that can cut and damage hands.
• Never put dirty, contaminated hands in gloves. The gloves will trap the con- taminants against the skin, causing irri- tation and even permeation.
