This guidance document provides advice on how to prevent dermatitis at work during the coronavirus pandemic.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic we are all washing our hands more frequently and for longer at both home and at work. We are also using alcohol-based hand sanitisers as well to help prevent infection. This has led to many of us experiencing drier hands than usual.

This document provides advice and information on:

• why skin is more vulnerable now;
• issues with PPE;
• affected skin and symptoms;
• prevention;
• workplace measures; and
• cautions on moisturisers and sanitisers.
