[Survey of occupational dermatosis in 11 work centers].
The development of Occupational Dermatosis Control Programme and the need for the planning of dermatological treatment as well as the prevention of such diseases makes it necessary to obtain morbidity data in different work places so as to classify them as dangerous from the occupational point of view. Eleven work places comprising 1431 workers were investigated. The existing dermatological pathology was established. It reached 48,1% of the workers investigated. Occupational dermatosis was 3,9% which is about the international average. The cases of dermatosis were treated and the workers' health improved; with sanitary instruction the environment underwent satisfactory changes which brought about the decrease of occupational risks. These surveys are a great help since they provide information about dermatological pathologies and their agents in different work places and facilitate the application of preventive measures.
