Clarity designs skin surveillance around your actual workplace hazards and exposure profile – not generic templates. We focus on those tasks, substances and work patterns that your risk assessments identify as carrying residual skin risk.
We deliver skin surveillance on‑site, via mobile medical units and through our wider healthcare network where needed, helping you cover multiple sites and shifts while minimising downtime and travel for staff.
Our reporting clearly sets out findings, any concerns and recommended next steps, supporting follow‑up action, continuous improvement and audit readiness. You gain evidence that you are actively monitoring skin health and checking the effectiveness of your controls over time.
Skin surveillance can be delivered as part of a wider health surveillance medical that may also include audiometry, HAVS checks, spirometry, urine and blood tests, depending on your overall risk profile.
Skin surveillance is usually required where, even after controls are in place, workers may still be exposed to substances or conditions that can damage the skin, such as irritants, sensitisers or frequent wet work.
Typical scenarios include:
Handling cleaning chemicals, solvents, oils, greases or cement
Frequent hand‑washing, wet work or prolonged glove use
Exposure to resins, adhesives, dyes or other sensitisers
Work in construction, food production, healthcare, manufacturing or similar sectors
Clarity can help you interpret your risk assessments and identify which roles should be included in skin surveillance and how often checks should take place.
A skin surveillance programme typically includes:
Baseline assessments – to record existing skin conditions and create a reference point for new starters or newly exposed staff.
Routine checks – brief questionnaires and visual inspections of the hands and other exposed areas to spot early signs of irritation, sensitisation or dermatitis.
Focused clinical review – where problems are identified, to understand severity, likely cause and appropriate management, including advice on work adjustments or referral if needed.
Throughout, we look at symptoms, exposure history, PPE use and skincare practices, then provide guidance on practical steps to protect skin health and improve controls where required.
Following skin surveillance, Clarity provides:
A clear summary of findings and any concerns identified
Advice on work practices, PPE and skincare routines
Recommendations for further investigation or specialist referral where appropriate
Feedback that can be used to refine risk assessments and control measures
This not only helps safeguard staff health, but also provides ongoing assurance that your organisation is taking reasonable steps to manage and monitor skin risks at work.
For skin surveillance, employers need a partner who will challenge, innovate and stay accountable where staff health is on the line.
We challenge when skin risks are underestimated or programmes are too generic, and help redesign surveillance around real exposure and roles.
We innovate in how and where checks are delivered – using on‑site, mobile and network options so staff can be seen efficiently with minimal disruption.
We grow by helping clients reduce work‑related skin problems and build healthier, more resilient teams over time.
We are driven to deliver – with responsive scheduling, clear communication and reliable follow‑through from clinics to reporting.
Collaboration drives us forward as we work with H&S, HR, managers and employees to make skin surveillance practical and understood.
We are energised by health, taking the time to explain findings and give simple, actionable advice that staff can use day‑to‑day.
We are accountable to each other, which shows in the consistency of our assessments and the confidence clients can place in our decisions and data.
If your people work with substances or conditions that can damage skin, Clarity can help you design and deliver a skin surveillance programme that protects staff, supports compliance and fits the way your business really operates.
