Sažetak
Exposure to allergens or irritants at the workplace is known to cause occupational contact dermatitis. Exposure assessment is primarily the scope of work of the specialist in occupational (and sports) medicine, especially when it comes to determining the health effects of exposure to the aforementioned noxae or process of establishing the diagnosis of occupational skin disease. It involves the identification of harm, characterization of the exposure, the assessment of the effects on the health of an individual or a group of workers. These steps are used when conducting a risk assessment or for the puropse of conducting exposure studies. It is often the case, even with a skilled expert, that exposure assessment is challenging so the purpose of this paper is to review the methods used for the workplace exposure assessment when diagnosiong occupational contact dermatitis.
