Abstract
Occupational skin diseases are among the most common occupational diseases in Europe, although this number could be higher, given a large number of unrecognized and unreported cases. The most common occupational skin disease is contact dermatitis, which includes allergic and irritant contact dermatitis and contact urticaria. In Croatia, occupational skin diseases make up to 8% of the total number of all recognized occupational diseases. Most are allergic contact dermatitis, followed by irritant contact dermatitis. Most cases of occupational skin diseases are found in manufacturing, craftwork, healthcare, and construction. This chapter summarizes the European standards used in Croatia, as well as data on the use and allergies associated with latex gloves and current outreach activities related to the protection of workers.
