New information:
Habia has published a free guidance booklet that provides
practical and straightforward guidance for the hairdressing
industry on how to deal with dermatitis and make glove use more
commonplace. This short and visually appealing booklet explains in
clear language what dermatitis is, which hairdressing tasks cause
dermatitis and how following HSE's 'Five steps to healthy hands'
can help to prevent dermatitis. The guidance also helps
hairdressers to select and use disposable vinyl and nitrile
gloves.
