Manufacturing Industry – Exposure Risks in Cosmetic Manufacturing
While many people use products like makeup and skincare to improve their aesthetic and health, your clients in the cosmetic manufacturing industry might see the uglier side of these products. To create products like makeup and lotions, workers in the cosmetic manufacturing industry face a wide variety of risks, especially an increased risk of exposure-related illnesses and accidents.
Due to the nature of the products they manufacture, your clients in the cosmetic manufacturing industry might come into contact with chemicals and other hazardous substances. If these substances are improperly handled or workers don’t have the necessary safety training, they might suffer from exposure-related injuries like:
- Chemical burns
- Skin irritation
- Respiratory problems, including occupational asthma
- Allergic reactions, like hives or asthma
- Eye injuries, including irritation and conjunctivitis
Many exposure-related injuries and illnesses are minor. For example, skin and eye irritation can often be treated, and workers can take steps like wearing gloves or goggles to reduce their risk. However, intense or frequent exposure to hazardous chemicals can also cause long-term health issues, like respiratory damage. In extreme cases, certain chemicals may also lead to an increased risk of other health issues, like certain cancers or fertility concerns for pregnant employees.
