A Practical Guide to                         Occupational Skin Management

This book provides a comprehensive guide for those wishing to develop and operate an effective occupational skin management system to protect the health of their workforce.

Written by Chris Packham, based on his 39 years' experience working on the prevention of damage to health due to workplace skin exposure.

'A Practical Guide to Occupational Skin Management is not just a health surveillance guide - it is relevant for many different roles including health and safety, occupational health and occupational hygiene. The book is written in Chris' engaging and informative style; it is very easy to read, and even the complex anatomy and physiology is explained clearly. In conclusion this is an excellent book which I would recommend adding to your library.'
