A recent study conducted at the Queensland University of Technology (Australia), revealed that exposure to UV radiation at work is the greatest fear of more than one in two workers outdoors. As a result, the researchers sought to determine whether an intervention in the workplace could improve behavior and attitudes of workers in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Working in partnership with the Cancer Council Queensland and Curtin University, the researchers examined 14 outdoor workplaces in different sectors: agriculture, construction, utilities and industry to develop action plans sunscreen personalized understood that the provision of portable shade structures to be used during breaks, staining the windows of the vehicle, hats, sunglasses, creams protetive, uniforms with long sleeves and long pants.

The results showed that after adopting the individualized plans, the number of workers who reported using sunscreen has increased significantly. For example, the percentage of workers who checked their skin for early signs of skin cancer has increased after the intervention program: 80% of people carried out an inspection. But the intervention program also had a significant impact on the daily behavior of employees - 20% more workers sought natural shade, 25% more workers wore wide-brimmed hats, 19% more shirts long Sleeve and 16% wore long pants. "

The percentage of workers who took care of sun protection and protected themselves increased from 10% to 76% in different areas, "said Dr. Marguerite Sendall, who was involved in the implementation of interventions in the workplace." despite public health campaigns underway, the outside workers are a difficult group to reach, but if we can make the program sunscreen really relevant to their personal circumstances, the potential health benefits are significant.
