Contact and contamination with ERSs and the use of personal protective equipment during relining work were noted.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> Contamination by uncured ERSs on gloves, personal and shared tools and work areas was identified during mixing, wetting, installation, and cleaning. The gloves used were often inadequate for handling ERSs.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> Relining pipes poses an extensive risk of uncured ERS exposure, and contamination was identified during the whole work process. Shared and personal tools and work areas were extensively contaminated. Changes in work routines and logistics for handling ERSs are essential, and knowledge among both employers and employees regarding the risks caused by ERS exposure is vital to create a safe work environment and prevent contact allergies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.2012.02065.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,12]],"date-time":"2012-05-12T04:15:33Z","timestamp":1336796133000},"page":"66-72","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Skin exposure to epoxy in the pipe relining trade\u2013an observational study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"George","family":"Fillenham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carola","family":"Lid\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingeg\u00e4rd","family":"Anveden Berglind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2310\/6620.2004.20433"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0536.2001.4402092.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1990.tb04779.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00420-010-0581-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","article-title":"Epoxy pipe relining \u2013 an emerging contact allergy risk to workers.","author":"Anveden Berglind I","journal-title":"Contact Dermatitis"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/BF03206410"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","volume-title":"Chemical Protective Clothing Performance Index","author":"Forsberg K","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0105-1873.2004.00465.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0536.2001.44020920.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1398-9995.2002.13118.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0105-1873.2005.00542.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","unstructured":"Swedish Work Environment Authority.Thermosetting plastics \u2013 ordinance issued by the Swedish Work Environment Authority containing provisions on thermosetting plastics and general recommendations on implementation of the provisions 2005.
