Construction workers are a known risk group for occupational skin disease (OSD).
To study diagnoses and causes of OSD in construction workers in the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases (FROD) 2005-2016.
We searched the FROD for dermatological cases in (a) construction-related occupations defined by the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) and (b) in the industrial branch of construction defined by the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2).
The two searches yielded the same number of cases, 329, although they were not identical subgroups. The number of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) cases was 235 (71%) in construction-related occupations and 228 (69%) in the industrial branch of construction. In the latter analysis, synthetic resin systems caused 66% of ACD cases and 46% of all OSDs, epoxy compounds being the leading cause (122 cases; 54% of ACD cases; 37% of all OSDs). Metals were the second most common group of causes of ACD with 31 cases (chrome 22 cases; cobalt 8 cases). Isothiazolinones caused ACD in 21 cases, many of whom were painters.
ACD dominated the OSDs of construction workers and epoxy products were by far the leading cause comprising 37% of all OSDs. Chrome and isothiazolinones were also prominent causes of ACD.
建筑工人是职业性皮肤病（OSD）的已知高危人群。
研究 2005-2016 年芬兰职业病登记处（FROD）中建筑工人 OSD 的诊断和病因。
我们在（a）国际标准职业分类（ISCO-08）定义的与建筑相关的职业和（b）欧洲共同体经济活动统计分类（NACE Rev.2）定义的建筑工业分支中搜索 FROD 中的皮肤科病例。
这两个搜索得出了相同数量的病例，329 例，尽管它们不是完全相同的亚组。在与建筑相关的职业中，过敏性接触性皮炎（ACD）病例为 235 例（71%），在建筑工业分支中为 228 例（69%）。在后一种分析中，合成树脂系统引起了 66%的 ACD 病例和 46%的所有 OSD，环氧树脂是主要原因（122 例；ACD 病例的 54%；所有 OSD 的 37%）。金属是 ACD 的第二大常见病因，有 31 例（铬 22 例；钴 8 例）。异噻唑啉酮引起了 21 例 ACD，其中许多是油漆工。
ACD 主导了建筑工人的 OSD，环氧树脂产品是迄今为止的主要原因，占所有 OSD 的 37%。铬和异噻唑啉酮也是 ACD 的主要原因。
