RASH (Resources About Skin Health) is a training package designed to educate the workplace, and students attending training institutions, about occupational contact dermatitis.

RASH is a “train-the-trainer” style education package, aiming to raise awareness about appropriate ways to prevent occupational contact dermatitis. RASH can be used as a training tool in workplaces, e.g. short 15 minute ‘toolbox’ talks or training sessions of about 30 minutes, or for induction training, for self-paced learning, or included in OH&S units at training institutions.

RASH is designed for use in a wide range of industries using the general information and general presentation. There are also 5 industry-specific sections included in the reference guide and on the CD-ROM.  The industries selected are those commonly affected by work-related skin problems. These 5 presentations are also now available on this website – visit the RASH presentations section to download these.

  • Hair and beauty
  • Healthcare
