Preventive measures skin chemical contamination

We propose to study in more detail each of these points constituting all the collective technical prevention measures designed to minimize or prevent the risk of skin chemical contamination in situations of potential exposure. 

Ingestion may occur unnoticed after inhalation or skin contact. Workers have to be taught not to touch their face during preparation. Direct ingestion of hazardous substances may occur accidentally and can usually be prevented by prohibition of food and drink in all preparation areas of the pharmacy (see Sect. 27.7). Hand to mouth ingestion is particularly well known in smoker population. Hand washing with soap when leaving preparation area is a basic, efficient measure to remove chemical contamination.
