Abstract

Introduction: OCCUPATIONAL skin disease is one of the commonest and the most important OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES chemical substances used in photographic process contaminate photographers and cause skin diseases. Method & Material: In this cross-sectional study, a random sample of 100 photographers were selected information concerning the presence of OCCUPATIONAL skin diseases, demographic factors such as age, gender, etc, history of atopy and any other skin diseases was collected via a questionnaire. Results: Descriptive methods were used for analysis and relative risks related to each of the mentioned factors were determined. The total population in this study was 100, 86 men and 14 women. The prevalence of dermatosis was 33%, 24% CONTACT DERMATITIS, 2% leukoderma and 3% nail hyperpigmentation. 43% were working with non-machinery printers and 57% with computerized printers. Subjects working with non-machinery printers were found to have statistically significant increases odd ratio (7.4) of skin diseases compared with subjects who were working with computerized printers (p<0.001). 41% of employees didn’t use gloves and they found to have a statistically increased skin disease compared to subjects who used gloves (odd ratio = 4.11, p<0.05). Conclusion: simple hygiene measures such as wearing protective gloves and adequate ventilation may prevent illness in photographers, also training of photographers about risks of chemical substances is important.
