Occupational contact dermatitis are the second occupational diseases in industrialized countries and the preventive action and/or early diagnosis done by occupational physician (OP) is of paramount importance.
OP in the process of risk evaluation must suggest products, detergents and personal protective equipment with low irritant or sensitization potential. During work, the use of skin creams has to be promoted to prevent irritation that is the first step towards impairment of the skin barrier and sensitization.
During periodical medical surveillance OP can control skin conditions of workers looking for signs of irritant and contact dermatitis, can give advice about preventive measures and information about products used to permit an early and correct diagnosis.
At the retour to work workers with a diagnosis of occupational dermatitis must avoid direct contact with irritant and sensitizing products.
职业性接触性皮炎是工业化国家的第二大职业病,职业医师(OP)采取的预防措施和/或早期诊断至关重要。
职业医师在风险评估过程中必须推荐具有低刺激或致敏潜力的产品、洗涤剂和个人防护设备。在工作期间,必须推广使用护肤霜以防止刺激,这是皮肤屏障受损和致敏的第一步。
在定期医疗监测期间,职业医师可以检查工人的皮肤状况,寻找刺激性和接触性皮炎的迹象,可以提供预防措施建议以及有关所用产品的信息,以便进行早期和正确的诊断。
对于被诊断为职业性皮炎的工人,复工时必须避免直接接触刺激性和致敏性产品。
