Hands in an automotive environment are vital tools to get the job done.
From vehicle maintenance & repair workshops, body & paint shops to fast fit centers and vehicle breakdown services, employees in an automotive environment are exposed to a wide variety of soilings, potential irritants, temperature swings and, at times, exposed working conditions. This can lead to visible skin problems ranging from red, sore, chapped skin to serious instances of occupational dermatitis.
The cost of these problems in the automotive environment can be significant and is widely accepted to be severely under reported. Not only are there personal costs for the employee, but there are also other costs to a business:
- Sickness absence from work
- Lost or reduced productivity
- Compensation
- Retraining
- Poor staff morale
- Fines and financial penalties
- Negative publicity
The diversity and complexity of the automotive environment can make it difficult to find an appropriate, effective skin safety solution that will be used and understood by all.
To protect and care for skin in an automotive environment we have developed a specific skin safety program.
With over 65 years experience in away from home skin care, Deb is uniquely qualified to provide a structured approach to skin safety challenges. We begin with the end game in mind - every person in every part of the organization does "the right thing" with regard to skin safety.
Your challenges are unique to your organization and our program is tailored to meet your specific needs. It integrates with your own risk management activities including Health and Safety procedures; occupational health requirements; and the provision of personal protective equipment.
The program is based on The Deb Skin Care System™ which comprises a complementary range of skin care products and support activities to overcome obstacles and encourage employee motivation to comply with a rigorous skin safety philosophy.
4-Step Product Range:
The Deb product range accomodates a broad variety of user preferences and application requirements. All Deb products are fully tested, supported and color-coded for ease of identification.
Protect - Pre-work creams help protect the skin against contact with various workplace contaminants, irritants and working conditions by limiting the contact between the two and facilitate subsequent cleansing. This allows the mildest possible cleansers to be used.
Cleanse - Appropriate cleansing of the hands plays a vital part in preventing occupational dermatitis. Using the appropriate cleansers so that hands are physically clean will remove dirt and irritants while keeping the skin in a healthy condition.
Sanitize - Products that can be used without water to kill germs and provide a higher level of hand hygiene and skin disinfection. Ideal for use in cafeterias, rest areas and office areas.
Restore - After work reconditioning creams help to maintain the skin in healthy condition by keeping the skin soft and supple, avoiding dryness. Good skin condition is an important element in ensuring good hand hygiene practice.
