Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I would think the cleaning chems are the harshest of all, but some people are just more susceptible to skin irritation then others. Does she have a history of eczema? Or other rashes? If so it could be a loosing battle, constantly washing hands all day can irritate them.Also, wearing gloves all day isn't necessarily a good thing either. Skin needs to breath! Obviously it's a tough situation, but can you rotate her around the shop so she's not doing dealing with ink and chems all day?Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
can anyone recommend a way to put an exhaust fan in a window for a short term solution? She'll only be in our current ink room for 2 months TOPS. so we don't want to invest in something heavy duty, when our new ink room is gonna be outfitted correctly.
We are dealing with some issues over at the shop, where our employee who mixes and makes our ink, is getting skin irritations. The past couple of months, it's just been generally irritated skin, and itchiness, but now it seems to be expanding to some other health issues.Our ink room is in a seperate building, behind our main production warehouse. We use ink from all the standard plastisol manufacturers, but mainly use HSA/Discharge/WB from Matsui, CCI, Green Galaxy, Rutland and so on. We use Saati products for our all of our chemicals.Our ink room has 12 ft ceilings, but it is a contained room with a window ac.Ventilation isn't the best, but there is also constant airflow from the AC or with the door being open.She wears Nitrile gloves all day.Has anyone personally, or had staff that has had irritants like this from ink? or additives? We have one other staff member, who also has skin irritations, and he works on the production floor.any ideas of what it could be, out of the millions of things it could be?!
