Introduction

Occupational dermatitis is a common health problem within the construction industry. Potential causes include cement, pitch, tar, paints, varnishes, brick, stone and plaster dust, mineral oils, organic solvents, thinners, petrol, and white spirit, to name but a few.

It most commonly affects the hands, forearms, and legs. But if dust, mist and/or fumes form it can also affect the face, neck, or chest (any exposed area of the body). Some types of dermatitis, if untreated, can result in cancer.
