Abstract: The  background  of  this  research  is  the  fact  that  workers  in  the textile  industry  largely  does  not  use  personal  protective  equipment,  during working  hours  but  they  are  always  exposed  to  dyestuffs  and  color  placard substances known that these substances can dissolve the fat under the skin surface so the skin becomes dry, cracked and could even occur vesicles. If the exposure occurred  in  a  long  time,  the  skin  may  occur  thickening  (lichenification) or substances  can  follow  the  path  into  the  lymph  vessels  throughout  the  body  and can  cause  disturbances  in  systim  hormonal  and  genetic  defects  resulting  in sterility. The purpose of this research is to obtain the relationship between age, years of working period and the use of PPE on the incidence of contact dermatitis in the textile industry in Jepara Troso.  Method:It was an observational research using  cross  sectional  design.  The  subjects  were  selected  using  purposive sampling.  The  collected  data  was  analyzed  using  Spearman  Rank   test.  Result:This research showed that there was highly significant relationship between the duration of work with contact dermatitis incidence (p = 0.038) and there is also a highly  significant  relationship  between  age  of  workers  with  contact  dermatitis incidence  (p  =  0.025),  whereas  for  longer  exposure  there  was  no  significantcorrelation  with  the  number  of  contact  dermatitis  incidence  (p  =  0.476). Conclusion: The  duration  of  working  likely  had  a  strong  association  with  the incidence of contact dermatitis. So, it was suggested to all workers for washing hands  and  feet  carefully,  especially  in  the  folds  of  the  hands  and  feet  for  the remaining  dyes  or  substances,  in  other   that  contact  dermatitis  cases  can  be prevented.
