“…Our data imply that more eVort is necessary to educate employees regarding strategies to reduce workrelated allergies. Studies have demonstrated that eVective reduction of exposure to allergens can be achieved by several strategies, which together appear to minimise sensitisation to rodents (Thulin et al 2002;Schweitzer et al 2003;Gordon et al 2001;Fisher et al 1998;Korpi et al 2007).…”

In employees with occupational contact with laboratory animal dust, the frequency of complaints was high. The results confirm the necessity of regular medical check-ups for employees with contact with laboratory animal dust. Nevertheless, the medical check-ups must be part of a prevention strategy including education, engineering controls, administrative controls, use of personal protective equipment and vocational integration.
