[Procedure for the acknowledgement of occupational skin diseases]
Abstract:
Following the amendment to the Occupational Diseases Order (Berufskrankheitenverordnung) with effect as of Jan. 1, 1977, the number of occupational skin diseases acknowledged is expected to increase. Knowledge of the pre-requisites in terms of insurance law regarding the acknowledgement of an occupational disease subject to payment of compensation places early detection and preventive measures in another light. The acknowledgement procedure and dermatological early-diagnosis procedure are explained in detail.
