In our shop, rule one is to never touch epoxy. Given enough exposure, everyone would become sensitized. We wear gloves and aprons and long sleeves. If you ever find epoxy anywhere on your skin, you down tools immediately, wipe off with vinegar then soap and water, and get new gloves and if necessary clean clothes before returning to work. After 20 years I'm still at it, and nobody I've worked with has shown serious sensitivity--yet.
