Abstract

Occupational dermatoses account for a large fraction of work-related illnesses and have significant economic and social repercussions. EU countries recognize the risks of dermal exposure leading to skin diseases and have transposed the requirements of all relevant Directives into their legislation. Throughout the European Union, skin diseases and their prevention are recognized as an important issue. Effective prevention of skin diseases requires a combination of technical, organizational, and medical measures to eliminate or minimize the skin’s exposure to risk factors. The occupational dermatologist and the occupational physician play important roles at the interface between technical, organizational, legal, and medical requirements for the successful prevention and early treatment of occupational skin diseases. This chapter summarizes relevant aspects of the dermatologist’s and occupational physician’s role in the identification of occupational dermatoses from a European perspective.
