Abstract
This research investigates the health condition of hairdressers caused by their occupation and the occupational skin diseases caused by work environment. The study also analyzes the factors on the causes of occupational diseases and their relationships and provides the basic information on prevention of the occupational skin diseases and management of their health. The occurrence rate of skin disease is found to be high in people whose ages are between 20 to 29, people who have worked for 2 to 6 years as hairdressers, people who have not used gloves and male hairdressers. As they have difficulty inclining their heads and standing, they are found to have less skin diseases. On the other hand, as their task gets difficult, the skin disease tends to occur less often. And, the skin disease tends to occur more often as they incline their heads. However, the effectiveness is found to be not strong. In the study, work environment is found to have relation with skin disease. Consistent observations to investigate risk factors through systems to administer the health of hairdressers are necessary to ease the work environment. The research is done based on participating hairdressers in the metropolitan areas, so it is difficult to generalize the findings. Further research needs to be taken on subjects in many other areas. Also, other occupational diseases which are not investigated in this research need to be examined through multiple other studies.
