How to improve skin notation. Position paper from a workshop
The ICOH Scientific Committee on Occupational and Environmental Dermatoses organized an International Workshop on "Dermal risk assessment at workplace" with the aim of focussing on the different ways of approaching the concept of skin notation (S) for chemicals.

Participants agreed to produce a position paper with the goal of exploring the actions needed to improve the S system towards international harmonization.
