“…[8] The prevalence of dermatitis for other occupations have also previously been reported such as health care workers, hairdressers, car mechanics, shoe manufacturing workers, tanner, and vehicle equipment workers. [6–9,25] As there are few studies among clothing employees, it is not easy to specify the CD prevalence for the clothing industry. Also, because the relevant literature is mostly only concerned with dermatitis caused by textile dyes, and the studies are not up-to-date, these results are often not worthy of comparison.…”

“…[4,5] Employees with the highest risk of development CD are those working in the healthcare, hairdressing, car repair, leather manufacture, and shoe manufacturing industries. [6–9] Nevertheless, studies on textile and garment dermatitis have only been undertaken among registered patients, [5,10,11] literature related to OCD of employees in the Chinese clothing industry is very limited.…”

Little is known about the epidemiology of contact dermatitis (CD) in the Chinese clothing industry. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and some risk factors of contact dermatitis among clothing manufacturing employees in Beijing.This cross-sectional study was conducted by interview using self-administered questionnaires and skin examination between May and August in 2016. Five-hundred twenty-nine employees who had worked at sewing, ironing, and as managers at 12 clothing manufacturing factories were studied.The overall 1-year prevalence of CD among the clothing employees was 28.5% (151/529 employees), with significantly higher prevalence among ironing workers (50%) and sewers (31.7%) compared with managers (12.7%; P < 0.001, n = 529). A significant association was noticed between the 1-year prevalence of CD and types of occupation (sewers and ironing workers versus managers, respectively), exposure to garment materials (leather and feather), dry skin, allergic rhinitis, age, and smoking.Among employees in Chinese clothing industry, sewers and ironing workers had a higher 1-year prevalence of CD than managers. It is noteworthy that exposure to leather and feather materials and the types of manual work are associated with CD, as well as dry skin and allergic rhinitis.

“…Cuts and lacerations and sprains and strains are the most common types of injury among young employees [25]. In addition, occupational diseases such as skin diseases should be recognized [26][27][28]. An occupational disease is an adverse health condition resulting from exposure to risk factors at work [29].…”

BACKGROUND: Young employees have often poorer occupational safety and health (OSH) skills and knowledge than older employees. Efforts should be made at different educational levels to strengthen young employees' OSH skills and knowledge. OBJECTIVE: To analyze OSH perceptions and attitudes among university students and to examine OSH professionals' views on OSH teaching. METHODS: This explorative study employs an iterative multimethod approach, including a paired comparison questionnaire for university students (N = 104) and OSH professionals (N = 40), an OSH questionnaire for university students (N = 130) and a Delphi survey for OSH professionals (N = 26). 2 RESULTS: OSH perceptions and attitudes were found to vary widely among the students and some expressed somewhat stereotypical views about OSH. The results confirm the need to improve OSH education. To that end, the study reports concrete practical ideas from OSH professionals. CONCLUSIONS: The findings confirm the need to augment both the quality and quantity of OSH teaching at university level. Ideas are presented for future OSH teaching, along with recommendations for future studies.

“…Mesleki dermatit gelişimi için risk faktörleri açısından bakıldığında; olgularımızın %50'sinin olarak ıslak iş tanımına uygun olarak çalıştığı saptandı. Dermatit riskini artıran diğer faktörler olan kuru deri, günlük ve toplam çalışma süresi, kullanılan koruyucu türü, atopi varlığı yanında ıslak işin de deri bariyerini bozarak riski artırdığı bilinmektedir 22,23 . Yakut ve ark'nın 24 yaptığı otomobil sektöründe çalışanlarda mesleksel deri hastalığı görülme sıklığını değerlendiren bir çalışmada kontakt dermatit %5,7 oranında saptanmış, atopi hikayesi olan ve 10 yılı aşkın süre çalışanlarda daha yüksek oranda görüldüğü belirtilmiştir.…”

Background and Design: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of patients who were referred and evaluated within 3 years with the preliminary diagnosis of occupational dermatitis and to share our clinical experience. Materials and Methods: A total of 23 cases with skin-related complaints were evaluated retrospectively between 2014 and 2017. Results: Of 459 patients with occupational disease, 23 (3.7%) were diagnosed with occupational dermatitis. Five were female and 18 were male. The mean age of the patients was 39±6.61. Twelve of 23 patients with positive patch test were diagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis, four as irritant contact dermatitis, six as other dermatological diagnoses (psoriasis vulgaris, vitiligo, dermal mucinosis and chronic urticaria). Due to the loss of communication in one case, no specific patch test could be performed for the occupational factors. Conclusion: Although occupational dermatitis is common among occupational diseases, the diagnosis rate is very low in our country. The specific patch test is important in the differential diagnosis.

Skin disease symptoms and related risk factors among young workers in high‐risk jobs

Abstract: The results indicate that young workers in high-risk jobs have a high frequency of skin symptoms. These results could provide a basis for occupational health professionals to plan prevention programmes for young workers.
