Results: The sample, with age average of 26,78 ± 11,3 years old, with the most being female (69,5%), and having incomplete university education (71,4). The majority used PPE at work (81,9%), being face mask the most common one (65,7%)The term “occupational dermatosis” was unknown by 49,5% of the interviewees.
