Abstract

The main skin diseases in an occupational context are irritant and allergic contact dermatitis. These conditions are a very common cause of ill-health related to occupation. Despite a decrease of notifications to INAIL for occupational skin diseases in recent years, their burden is still high, so dermatologist may often be called for a consultation, giving his opinion about indemnity of the worker. This paper gives an overview of legal aspects concerning occupational dermatitis.
