| Abstract |
Taking sun-sheltered meal- and tea-breaks around solar noon can reduce occupational exposure to solar erythemal ultraviolet (UV) radiation by outdoor workers. The research presented quantifies the reductions in solar UV exposure to be expected in summer and winter for different scenarios of break times for this high UV exposure occupational group of the population. Topics: exposure evaluation; eye injuries; limitation of exposure; outdoor work; personal protective equipment; radiance measurement; skin cancer; solar radiation; ultraviolet radiation; workbreaks. |
