Workplace exposure - Strategy for the evaluation of dermal exposure

This Technical Report gives guidance on approaches for awareness and evaluation of dermal exposure in workplaces.
This Technical Report describes strategies to evaluate exposure of the skin to chemical and biological agents qualitatively and quantitatively, e.g. to analyse exposure, as part of the risk assessment process, to investigate associations between exposure and diseases, and to evaluate control measures.
The definitions and procedures given in this document are primarily related to dermal exposure to chemical substances.
The specifications given in this Technical Report are not applicable to microbiological skin contaminants.

Introduction
Dermal exposure assessment explores the dynamic interaction between environmental contaminants and the
skin. In contrast to inhalation exposure assessment, the assessment of dermal exposure remained a nascent
field of scientific research and applied occupational hygiene for most of the twentieth century, although
multiple fatalities and occupational skin diseases due to dermal exposure have been described in literature.
During the last decade, dermal exposure has received more attention, and one of the important results was
the development of a conceptual model for dermal exposure (see [1]). The model systematically describes the
transport of contami
