NCH Hand Cleaning Station
Clean, Protect and Condition – the importance of hand cleaning to keep industry running has never been more important.
Here you will find information on the Hand Care Station located in your facility and NCH’s Industrial Hand Care Programme.
Minimise instances of viral infection and occupational skin conditions amongst employees by combining a regime of appropriate skin cleaning products with protective barrier creams and moisturising conditioning creams.

HAND CLEANING
The first step in any hand care regime is to ensure hands are clean, and grease, soils and germs are removed.

PROTECTIVE BARRIER CREAMS
Barrier creams shield skin from occasional contact with many irritants including mild acids, grease, solvents etc. However, they should not be used as a replacement for required PPE equipment such as gloves. They are used in industrial applications and as a cosmetic to place a physical barrier between the skin and contaminants that may irritate the skin.

Conditioning Moisturising Creams
The regular use of after-work, restorative creams can help maintain the skin in a healthy condition. These creams help replenish lost natural oils, keeping the skin soft and supple; avoiding dryness.

SANITISE
(Optional add-on, not present on all hand care stations)
Sanitising hand rubs should contain a minimum of 60% alcohol to effectively remove bacteria from the skin. Alcohol hand rubs are ideal when soap and water are not a viable option or as additional protection once hands have been washed.
