A total of 100 workers, 86 from the glass-fibre-reinforced plastics (GRP) industry, 11 from polystyrene production and 3 from polyester resin coating manufacture, were examined for occupational skin hazards and for evaluation of skin protection. The workers had been exposed to many chemicals. Those working in the GRP industry had also been exposed to glass fibre and to dust produced by finishing work. 94% used protective gloves. 22 workers, all employed in the GRP industry, had contracted occupational skin disorders. 6 had allergic and 12 irritant contact dermatitis. 4 workers had an accidental injury caused by a peroxide catalyst, fire, hot air and constant mechanical friction. Allergic dermatoses were due to natural rubber (latex) (4 cases) in protective gloves, phenol-formaldehyde resin (1 case) and cobalt naphthenate (1 case). Irritant hand dermatoses (5 cases) were caused by the combined hazardous effect of unsaturated polyester or vinyl ester resins, organic solvents, glass fibre and dust from finishing work on the skin. Other cases of irritant dermatoses (7 cases) were due to the dust, promoted by mechanical friction of clothes. Skin disorders in the GRP industry were common (26%) but the symptoms were mild and only 3 patients had been on sick leave because of occupational skin disease.
总共100名工人接受了职业性皮肤危害检查及皮肤防护评估，其中86名来自玻璃纤维增强塑料（GRP）行业，11名来自聚苯乙烯生产行业，3名来自聚酯树脂涂料制造行业。这些工人接触过多种化学物质。GRP行业的工人还接触过玻璃纤维和精加工产生的粉尘。94%的工人使用防护手套。22名工人（均受雇于GRP行业）患有职业性皮肤病。6人患过敏性接触性皮炎，12人患刺激性接触性皮炎。4名工人因过氧化物催化剂、火灾、热风和持续机械摩擦而意外受伤。过敏性皮肤病是由防护手套中的天然橡胶（乳胶）（4例）、酚醛树脂（1例）和环烷酸钴（1例）引起的。刺激性手部皮肤病（5例）是由不饱和聚酯或乙烯基酯树脂、有机溶剂、玻璃纤维和精加工产生的粉尘对皮肤的综合危害作用引起的。其他刺激性皮肤病病例（7例）是由衣服的机械摩擦助长的粉尘引起的。GRP行业的皮肤病很常见（26%），但症状较轻，只有3名患者因职业性皮肤病而请病假。
