For which industry division is the incidence rate for occupational skin diseases the highest?

  1. Manufacturing

  2. Professional and business services

  3. Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting

  4. Education and health services

The correct answer is: Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting

Occupational skin diseases are most prevalent in the Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry division. This is because workers in this industry are often exposed to harsh chemicals, plant oils, and other irritants that can cause skin irritation and damage. The manufacturing, professional and business services, and education and health services industries are less likely to have workers exposed to such hazardous substances on a regular basis. Therefore, the incidence rate for occupational skin diseases is lower in these industries compared to agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting.
