Abstract
In a Finnish ski-stick factory with 293 employees, several persons had skin symptoms compatible with contact allergy. Epoxy resin was the only potential allergen in the working environment. The important role of ski-stick saw dust as the source of sensitizing, partly cured epoxy resin was stressed. Not only hardeners, but also epoxy resin can cause an immediate type of allergy.Keywords
