Why a Rash May Not Be Just a Rash for a New Jersey Construction Worker

Think about how much skin is exposed on your body while you are working at your New Jersey construction job. While protective measures can be, and should be, put in place to protect your skin, the risk of serious and potentially fatal skin accidents exists when you work in the construction field.

  • Skin cancer

These conditions may be caused by materials such as:

  • Cement
  • Lime
  • Tar
  • Coal
  • Paints

  • Metalworking fluids
  • Other materials
