In all, 2177 (75%) were diagnosed with occupational skin disease (OSD<\/jats:styled-content>). Of the patients with a work\u2010related skin condition, 45% (n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009979) were considered to be atopic. The most common diagnosis in those with OSD<\/jats:styled-content> was irritant contact dermatitis (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>) (44%), followed by allergic contact dermatitis (33%) and endogenous eczema (11%). Women were significantly more likely to have soaps and detergents (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.001) and water\/wet work (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.001) as causes of their ICD<\/jats:styled-content> than men. Men were significantly more likely to have oils and coolants (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.001) and solvent exposures (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.001) as causes of their ICD<\/jats:styled-content>. Occupational groups with the highest incidence of OSD<\/jats:styled-content> were the hair and beauty professions (70 per 100\u2009000), followed by machine and plant operators (38 per 100\u2009000) and health\u2010care workers (21 per 100\u2009000).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>We confirm the importance of occupational contact dermatitis as the most common cause of OSD<\/jats:styled-content>, with ICD<\/jats:styled-content> being the most common diagnosis. There are differences in the causes of ICD<\/jats:styled-content> between our group of male and female workers.
