Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Fitzpatrick's Dermatology, 9e AB - AT-A-GLANCEOccupational skin diseases are the second most common occupational illness accounting for approximately 15% of occupational illnesses.*The vast majority of occupational skin diseases are occupational contact dermatoses (irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis), with approximately 80% of cases occurring on the hands.Workers in the natural resources and mining, manufacturing, and education and health services have the highest rates of reported skin diseases and disorders.Occupational exposures (ultraviolet radiation and chemical carcinogens) can have a significant role in skin cancer development, which is a major public health concern.Personal protective equipment should be the last consideration in addressing occupational skin hazards.
