Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is an occupational health and safety issue for outdoor occupations, since excessive exposure is associated with negative health outcomes, including eye conditions, and skin cancers.In this study, electronic dosimeters were used to record time-stamped UVR exposure of a convenience sample of 77 workers from three occupations: building, horticulture, and roading, selected from listings in Central Otago yellow pages directories. Workers kept a diary record of concurrent sun-protective practices and completed a questionnaire on sun-related knowledge, attitudes towards suntans, and perceptions of workplace socio-cultural environment. The two outcomes were UVR exposure and sun-protective practices.Using the Haddon Matrix and Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion to structure and guide the research, variables potentially associated with the outcomes were considered from the host (worker) and the socio-cultural environment (workplace) domains. Host factors included (1) sun and skin cancer related knowledge, (2) attitudes towards suntans, and (3) perceived risk of skin cancer..

This bulletin first reviews the characteristics of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, sources of UV exposure in the workplace, and the health effects of UV exposure (both acute and chronic). It then sets out occupational UV exposure guidelines and presents information on measures to prevent the overexposure of workers to UV radiation, including engineering & administrative controls, personal protection, and prevention of overexposure to solar UV radiation. Finally, it outlines procedures for providing first aid to workers overexposed to UV, for carrying out a UV safety audit, and for organizing a program to prevent UV overexposure.
