In certain circumstances, as a result of the risk assessment, barrier creams could be used together with other PPE with the aim of protecting workers’ skin from related risks. Barrier creams are PPE under the scope of Directive 89/656/EEC as this type of equipment can be considered in certain circumstances as “additional or accessory” within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive 89/656/EEC.
