14. industrialskincare
The implementation of a full skin care
programme is now becoming more and more
a part of many responsible companies health
& safety regimes, as they reassess the need
for skin protection within the workplace.
Occupational dermatitis is in fact the most
prevalent industrial disease in the UK, and
the second most common type of reported
occupational illness. For Industry this results
in an estimated 4 million lost working days
at a cost of some £59 million per annum. In
addition, the costs of litigation in such cases
have increased dramatically in recent years,
now reaching up to a £250,000 for a single
claim.
As part of SBA's commitment to delivering a
professional and comprehensive skin
protection programme to employees in the
workplace, we are active members of the
BSIF (British Safety Industry Federation) Skin
Protectants Group, and abide by the Group's
Code of Practice.
We work closely with Deb to offer a broad
range of skin protection, cleaning and care
products.

does not perform then it is not cost efficient
and will only add to your operating costs.
