What is UV?

Ultraviolet (UV) rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that comes from the sun and other artificial sources. While UV rays provide certain benefits, excessive exposure can be harmful to the skin.

 

UVA Rays

Contribute to skin burning, skin cancer, and premature aging.

UVB Rays

Known for causing sunburns and are believed to be the primary cause of most skin cancers.

UVC Rays

Unlike UVA and UVB rays, UVC rays are typically created artificially during industrial processes, such as welding.

Outdoor Workers

Outdoor workers are at a higher risk of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to the nature of their jobs, which require prolonged periods of time spent outside. Here are the primary ways they are affected:

Skin Cancer:

Cumulative Effect: The risk is cumulative, meaning the more time spent in the sun, the higher the risk over time.

Increased Risk: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma types like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

School Children

The Importance of Early Education on Sun Safety

Over-exposure to the sun during childhood can significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma later in life . Instilling the benefits of sun safety at an early age is crucial for making sun protection a lifelong habit. Educating pupils from a young age helps ensure that they understand the importance of being sun safe, which can lead to healthier lifestyles and reduced risks of skin cancer.

Welders and UVA

During welding, a significant amount of UVA radiation is emitted, exposing welders to high levels of UV radiation. Unlike the sun, the UV radiation from welding is an artificial source, which can be intense and localized.
