General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

In nail services, removal and filing as well as certain products can release dust and vapours into the workplace air.

Resins, varnishes and solvents are among the products cited by Assurance Maladie. Exposure can contribute to respiratory or skin conditions.

INRS recommends ensuring good ventilation of the room and using extraction devices to reduce these exposures.

Equipment choice depends on the actual activity. Assurance Maladie provides a guide to help choose a suitable extraction table.

After installation, workstation and equipment maintenance recommendations should be followed and staff trained in their use.

With the team, describe products and removal or shaping steps, then clarify extraction, its maintenance and workstation instructions.
