    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Occupational Health
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Occupational dermatoses represent a significant portion of work-related illnesses.
    • Contact dermatitis is the most prevalent form, encompassing both irritant and allergic reactions.
    • Identifying causative agents and industries is crucial for prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the types and causes of occupational dermatoses in a cohort of 389 workers.
    • To identify the most common irritants and allergens responsible for contact dermatitis.
    • To pinpoint industries with the highest incidence of occupational skin conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 389 occupational dermatoses cases.
    • Classification of dermatitis as irritant or allergic contact dermatitis.
    • Identification of specific causative agents and industry sources.

    Main Results:

    • 97% of cases were contact dermatitis (66.3% irritant, 33.7% allergic).
    • Common irritants included cutting oils, solvents, and flux (engineering/electronics).
    • Chromate (cement), rubber chemicals, and epoxy resin were key allergens, with construction being the largest source.

    Conclusions:

    • Contact dermatitis is the predominant occupational dermatosis.
    • Engineering, electronics, and construction industries present significant risks.
    • Targeted preventive strategies are needed to reduce occupational skin disease incidence.
