Conclusion
The use of NOSQ-2002 will benefit research on occupational skin diseases by providing more standardized data, which can be compared between studies and countries. Data on the epidemiology of occupational skin diseases and exposures will provide information for prevention. NOSQ-2002 short form can be used for monitoring hand dermatitis, for example, after preventive workplace interventions or other changes in exposure or work processes, including legislation and regulations. Ultimately, the information from the data might lead to new legislation to reduce harmful exposures. Differences between countries may be due to different exposures or working methods. These differences may give rise to new ideas or hypotheses on how to improve the prevention of work-related skin diseases.
