2 | 1, Male | ‘I am not the kind of person that says: “You have to do this or you have to do that” and that’s not the kind of person I want to be. And obviously, I do not have that role at the department… So not top down or in a compulsory way, but more like: “Did you know that hand eczema is often not visible, you might have it without knowing it?”’ |

3 | 13, Female | ‘If you are trying to convince people of the importance, but you do not practice what you preach, they will never listen to you. So I think that’s the most important. That they see you do the things you say you do.’ |

‘Personally, I would have liked to know more about hand eczema and maybe the consequences of hand eczema and things like that. Then I would have been able to tell more about it, than I could after the first meeting.’

‘Yes, and also personally I think it is important, because you still want to continue work for many years, so you do not want to have that kind of illness.’

9 | 1, Male | ‘What made it easier was that I followed other courses previously, for instance ergonomy training, and first aid, and then you already know what is to be expected from you as a coach.’ |

‘That’s because I am in a position where it is perhaps easier for me to address people than for an analyst in the laboratory. That might be the case.’

11 | 18, Female | ‘J. just arrived, she had just finished her studies and she has just started to work here, and she was also in the working group… I think she was trying to find her own way. She does not have the experience yet to address people or to arrange these kind of things.’ |

12 | 2, Female | ‘We all learned from it. So that’s positive as well. If you are going to do something and you think: “Yes, I already know that”, then you will not benefit from it. Yes, we all found it quite interesting and fun. Yes, that’s an advantage as well.’ |

‘We work at very different locations, we do not have coffee breaks together, so it was difficult how I could announce this to everyone.’

‘When you are working here, it is pretty busy. So it is not always easy to keep it in sight and that makes it a bit difficult.’

‘But then of course, at a certain moment it is up to them to do something about it. You cannot force them, of course, that’s not always possible. That’s sometimes difficult.’

‘We could have used that one colleague as an example, because it was very clearly visible and then you notice that people think: “Well, that’s not something I want, so I will do of course my best to avoid it.”

‘”No, I don’t have hand eczema,” she said. So you can talk and talk, that didn’t help a thing. Or let me put it this way: it did not help here. So I consider that effect as very minimal.’
