Les ordonnances de prévention des dermatoses professionnelles : mise en place et suivi

Abstract

A well-organized and structured prevention program is an essential step in the care of individuals with occupational irritant or allergic dermatitis. It involves first the physician who is going to make the diagnosis; it then involves the occupational medicine physician who is the only one that can follow the worker in the workplace. For each profession, or even better, for each job within in a profession, validated, written, practical rules should be on hand. We have prepared a CD that provides answers to most of the questions that would be asked by a patient and by the physician responsible for prevention: movements to be avoided, availability of gloves and protective creams for tasks to be carried out, non-traumatizing methods of cleansing, the most appropriate measures to take after work, allergens to avoid, etc. A reminder of the regulations and the responsibility of the employer are essential.
