Occupational Dermatitis
Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin, usually caused by an allergic reaction. Many people contract dermatitis at work due to contact with a variety of substances, including:
- bleach
- cement
- cosmetics
- detergents and soaps
- flour
- glues and solvents
- latex and rubber
- meats and fish
- metals such as nickel and cobalt
- plants and vegetables
These are just a few examples.
Dermatitis can be caused by contact with many other substances known to cause irritation (in particular man-made chemicals) often state on their packaging that they are an irritant.
