Sažetak
Hairdressers are in contact with many hazardous and toxic agents, which entail different occupational health risks such as skin damage, respiratory problems, reproductive disorders, various forms of cancer, etc. Exposure can occur at the level of the skin as well as at the level of the respiratory tract. One major challenge in the health risk assessment in the hairdressing sector is that the occupational exposure is subject to change due to changing compositions of products at work. This paper is the result of extensive literature research undertaken from December 2020 to May 2022 by a consortium of five project partners from Germany, Denmark, Croatia, and the Netherlands. The undertaken research was commissioned by the European Social Partners in Hairdressing, namely UNI Europa Hair & Beauty and Coiffure EU in the framework of the project VS/2019/0440 “Promoting the autonomous implementation of the European framework agreement on occupational health and safety in the hairdressing sector”. It presents relevant findings related to the health risk from exposure of hairdressers pertaining to hair cosmetic products. By means of eight systematic literature and scoping reviews research, evidence from 2000-2021 was analyzed and evaluated. The reviews focused on substances identified as most hazardous cosmetic ingredients having (potential) harmful outcomes on hairdressers’ skin, systemic toxicity, respiratory, carcinogenic and reproductive effects. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations with regard to preventive and regulatory measures are made for future considerations.
