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.
