In many trades, chemicals are an integral part of the work environment. Acids, paints, aerosols, solvents, these substances are very dangerous for the body and can cause many pathologies. In Europe, it is estimated that one third of occupational diseases are linked to exposure to chemicals. Faced with these risks, it is imperative that employees are well protected and aware of the dangers caused by the use of these substances. Selenca, a company specializing in agricultural risks, supports them.
The risks to the skin associated with the use of chemical products are numerous. Indeed, contact between this type of substance and the skin can lead to many skin problems, such as irritation, dermatoses or even burns. Therefore, it is necessary to equip yourself accordingly with safety equipment. Gloves, goggles, overalls and protective suits are therefore essential to guard against the risks associated with the use of chemical products.
However, when we think of skin protection, we should not only think of direct contact. Indeed, toxic fumes and vapors can affect the health of a worker without the latter having touched a dangerous chemical product.
Therefore, in addition to the "physical" protections of gloves, gowns and glasses, it is imperative to equip yourself with masks, which will protect the most sensitive parts of the skin, namely the mouth or the nose, which can absorb toxic fumes.

To protect its employees and avoid accidents at work, it is necessary to equip oneself accordingly in order to protect the skin from contact with chemicals. This requires good protection, but also good prevention and expert knowledge of the use of such products in a work environment.
To meet these needs, the French company Selenca, which specializes in the protection and prevention of risks in the agricultural environment, offers a whole range of equipment to protect employees from the risks associated with the use of chemical products.
