Currently 244 dermatologists and 790 occupational physicians report incident cases to these schemes. During the 6 years to January 1999 a total of 12,574 new cases of occupational skin disease was estimated from reports by consultant dermatologists and 10,136 cases estimated from occupational physicians (since May 1994). The annual incidence of occupational contact dermatitis using data from both schemes was 12\u00b79 per 100,000 workers. The incidence of contact dermatitis per 100,000 workers increased with age in men from 4\u00b79 (age 16\u201329 years) to 6\u00b76 (age 45\u201360 years); in women a higher rate (9\u00b75) was apparent in the younger age group, with lower rates in older female workers. High rates in young workers were associated with wet work and in older workers with exposure to oils. For men, high rates of contact dermatitis were seen in reports from both schemes for chemical operatives, machine tool setters and operatives, coach and spray painters and metal workers. For women, high rates were found for hairdressers, biological scientists and laboratory workers, nurses and those working in catering. The most frequent agents for contact dermatitis were rubber chemicals and materials (14\u00b71% of cases reported by dermatologists), soaps and cleaners (12\u00b77%), nickel (11\u00b79%), wet work (11\u00b71%), personal protective equipment (6\u00b72%), petroleum products (6\u00b73%), cutting oils and coolants (5\u00b76%), and epoxy and other resins (6\u00b71%). In the 1608 estimated cases of skin cancer all but 4% were attributed to ultraviolet radiation. Cases of contact urticaria attributed to latex peaked in 1996, with a decline in cases since that time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.2000.03537.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,11]],"date-time":"2003-03-11T05:27:52Z","timestamp":1047360472000},"page":"1128-1134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":145,"title":["Surveillance of occupational skin disease: EPIDERM and OPRA"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"142","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Cherry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.D.","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Adisesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Brooke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Owen-Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Swales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.H.","family":"Beck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, U.K. *Dermatology Centre, Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford M6 8HD, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013010223363000_b1","volume-title":"Self-Reported Work Related Illness in 1995.","author":"Health and Safety Executive.","year":"1998"},{"key":"2023013010223363000_b2","volume-title":"Occupational diseases in Finland in 1996.
