Increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma based on solar ultraviolet radiation measurements from outdoor workers in Lisbon, Portugal
Introduction Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the main causes of skin cancer, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being particularly prevalent among outdoor workers due to chronic UVR exposure. Despite the increasing incidence of SCC in this group, cases remain under-reported and are not always classified as an occupational disease. Current guidelines for UVR exposure are established for a limit of 30 J/m 2 over an 8-h workday, and they…
Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation among outdoor workers in Lisbon, 2023—first results of the Meaow study
Introduction Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary external factor associated with the development of skin cancer. Accurate, valid, and reliable objective estimates of individual UVR exposure are required to quantify the risk of skin cancer in outdoor workers. Such data can be used to develop and implement policies and practices to reduce, or at least manage, UVR exposure in outdoor workers. Currently, there is a dearth of obj…
Current status of national regulations on tanning bed use and workers' protection from solar ultraviolet radiation
Introduction: Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most important risk factor for the development of skin cancer. Outdoor workers and people who use tanning beds belong to the high-risk groups for developing this disease. The aim of the present study was to gather data about national regulations on the use of tanning beds and worker's protection from solar UVR. Methods: Member societies of the International League of Dermatological Soci…
Digitally measuring solar ultraviolet radiation in outdoor workers
Introduction: The rising incidence of skin cancer over the years has made it a significant public and occupational health issue. However, skin cancer is highly preventable, mainly through reduced exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which can be achieved by a variety of individual and collective protective measures and interventions. The relative risk associated with different patterns of exposure to solar UVR differs for the subtypes o…
Illness Perceptions of Patients with Occupational Skin Diseases in a Healthcare Centre for Tertiary Prevention
Objectives: To investigate the illness perceptions of patients with occupational skin diseases (OSDs). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Specialised healthcare centre for inpatient and outpatient individual prevention in occupational dermatology in Germany. Participants: A total of 248 patients with hand eczema (55.2% female; average age: 48.5 years, SD: 11.9) were included in the final analyses. Measures: A modified and recently validated …
Teledermatological Follow-Up Consultations in Individual Prevention of Occupational Dermatoses
Teledermatology has become very popular, and not only due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Patients with occupational skin diseases (OSDs) could also benefit from teledermatology services as part of their follow-up care, but the opportunities and challenges for patients and dermatologists, especially regarding quality and satisfaction, need exploration. In this single-center feasibility study, 215 patients taking part in a tertiary prevention program …
Sun protection and occupation
A substantial proportion of all reported occupational illnesses are constituted by skin cancer, making this disease a serious public health issue. Solar ultra-violet radiation (UVR) exposure is the most significant external factor in the development of skin cancer, for which the broad occupational category of outdoor workers has already been identified as high-risk group. Sun protection by deploying adequate technical, organizational, and person-…
Development of an app-based maintenance programme to promote skin protection behaviour for patients with work-related skin diseases
Objectives: Digital interventions are increasingly used to support behaviour change. In the prevention of chronic work-related skin diseases, the sustainable implementation of appropriate skin protection behaviour following tertiary individual prevention is important. However, there exists no intervention to support the maintenance of these behaviour changes until now. We report the systematic development of a technology-based maintenance program…
Protocol for a Systematic Review on the Effectiveness of Interventions to Reduce Exposure to Occupational Solar UltraViolet Radiation (UVR) Among Outdoor Workers
Background: Solar UltraViolet Radiation (UVR) is considered the most relevant occupational carcinogenic exposure in terms of the number of workers exposed (i.e., outdoor workers) and UVR-induced skin cancers are among the most frequent types of occupational cancers worldwide. This review aims to collect and evaluate all the available preventive interventions conducted on outdoor workers to reduce their solar UVR related risk, with the final purpo…
