your employer should provide you with proper protective clothing ... oh, i forgot, it's the employers right to fuck over workers in the current federalised employment environment....
if you've developed a permanent skin condition as a result of your workplace then it's only fair that your employer (and their worker's comp insurer) develop a permanent financial disfigurement (that favours you).
there's no easy way of getting the glass fibres out of you skin apart from removing the skin.
the rapid movement of swimming or vigorous showering may makes things worse as you are breaking the fibres down to even smaller segments. A warm shower or sauna may help as it encourages the body to profusely sweat but a that also makes your skin more sensitive.
you should consult with a doctor (or get referred to a dermatalogist) to see if you can get something to reduce the irritation and discomfort.
as a last resort, get some skin creams that relieve sunburn pain and apply liberally - some have a mild local anesthetic that'l help you forget the pain and itching for a while. Also, gently and liberally apply aleo vera (spell?) squeezed straight out from one of the leaves - when it dries, gently wash off and it will remove some fibres with the goo.
