Developing a policy response to wet work exposure

DATE:

February 2011 - December 2011

CHIEF INVESTIGATOR: Dr Tessa Keegel

The results of this project will provide information regarding patterns of wet work exposure, diagnosed disease and successful claims data. It will assist in the development of appropriate health and safety policies in relation to exposure to wet work. This will ultimately lead to a reduction in occupational contact dermititis. 

The project will compare diagnosed occupational contact dermatitis and worker's compensation claims to determine which groups of people and industries impacted by wet work exposure.

ISCRR is working with the Monash University Centre for Occupational and Environmental Helath to deliver this project. It is supported by an ISCRR Development Grant.
