Skin Health Surveillance

Spirit Occupational Health’s skin surveillance services, combines structured visual assessment and the latest technology to measure the condition of the skin on the hands.

Spirit Occupational Health is the first occupational health service to introduce skin measurement technology into its skin surveillance screening programmes.

Skin disease can be permanent, disabling and expensive. Since a cure can be difficult or even impossible, good employers will place emphasis on prevention. This is where skin condition measurements can play a vital role.
