Will all types of gloves protect your hands against chemicals?
In the context of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), barrier cream refers to a type of protective cream that is applied to the skin to create a protective layer or barrier. This layer helps to prevent direct contact between the skin and hazardous substances such as chemicals, irritants, or other potentially harmful materials. Barrier creams are used as a supplementary protective measure when workers are exposed to skin hazards in various work environments.
The cream works by either repelling the hazardous substances or preventing them from being absorbed into the skin. Common applications include industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, painting, construction, and agriculture, where workers might encounter a range of potential skin irritants or harmful substances.
It's important to note that while barrier creams can provide an extra level of protection, they should not be used as a substitute for other personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves. They are typically used in conjunction with other forms of protection to ensure comprehensive safety for workers. Regular training and education on proper usage and application of barrier cream are crucial in HSE protocols.
