I am somewhat concerned that you are withdrawing skin health surveillance.
For many organisations this will be a legal obligation. Check out COSHH
(Regulation 11) and MS24 (Medical aspects of occupational skin disease) and
you will see that if there is a potential for occupational skin disease then
there is a legal duty to conduct skin health surveillance.
Consider what your situation would be were an employee to develop what was
then diagnosed as an occupational contact dermatitis after you had withdrawn
the surveillance programme. There could be some expensive consequences!
