Educational programmes, including evidence-based recommendations on skin protection (skin protection programmes), have been proposed for the prevention of irritant contact dermatitis in occupations with a high frequency of this disease. Recent intervention studies directed at wet-work employees showed a positive influence on wet-work behaviour and on clinical skin symptoms. The structure and implementation of skin protection programmes are discussed.
