Sažetak
Hairdressers and hairdressing apprentices (HA) are exposed to various chemicals while performing hair washing, dyeing, bleaching, curling, cutting, and styling. Beside irritant and allergic effects on skin, some hairdressing chemicals have respiratory effects, or suspected systemic effects. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of glove use in 408 Croatian HAs while performing hairdressing tasks during practical training, in a cohort study with 3 follow-ups at the end of each school year. It was evident that majority of HAs wear gloves while dyeing hair, but glove use was not adequate while washing dyed or non-treated hair, neglecting dermal contact with harmful chemicals and irritative effects of wet work on skin. This indicates poor implementation of safety at work measures among HA and the need for additional education in this field.
