A respirator isn’t enough to bridge the “Skin Gap.”
In construction and manufacturing, many view respiratory protection as the final line of defence. However, dermal absorption of toxins like silica and formaldehyde remains a critical pathway for occupational exposure. Contaminants settle on the skin and enter the bloodstream, significantly increasing the risk of occupational cancer.
With the 1st December 2026 deadline for new Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL) approaching, updating decontamination protocols is essential for WHS compliance and duty of care.
