UVA and UVB Radiation
Solar UV radiation is
95% UVA & 5% UVB.
UVA causes tanning,
aging & skin cancer.
UVB causes burning &
skin cancer.
Tanning beds emit
12 times more UVA
than the sun.
Skin cancers occur in
the epidermis.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
How Skin Cancer
Starts
All cancers develop because of abnormal cell
growth.
Skin cancer develops because of abnormal
growth of our basal, squamous or melanocyte
cells.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
How Skin Cancer Starts
UVA and UVB rays hit the epidermis.
DNA in skin cells begins to break down.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
The breakdown causes the cells to grow out
of control and form a mass of cancer cells.
The immune system tries to repair the
damage.
More sun exposure hampers repair.
Damaged cells can mutate into skin cancer
within 5 years.

about an SPF 3.
Skin gets damaged while getting a
tan, including aging from UVA rays
and cumulative lifetime exposure.

Sun Protective Clothing
Clothing can block 100% of UVA and
UVB.
Wear clothing that covers a large amount
of your skin.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
Choose fabrics with a tight weave that
allows little or no light to pass through.
A thin white t-shirt has an SPF of about 4.
Wear darker colors because they absorb
more UV.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Hats
Less Sun Safe More Sun Safe
 Choose wide-brimmed hats.
 But, any hat is better than NO hat!
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Sunglasses
UV can cause cataracts,
macular degeneration,
blindness and melanoma of
the eye.
Wear large sunglasses that
block 99-100% of UV rays.
Look for lenses labeled UV
400 or ANSI Z80.3.
Lenses don’t have to be dark
or expensive.

Broad Spectrum Protection – certified to
protect against UVA.
Can longer use: Sunblock, Waterproof, All
Day Protection, Sweatproof.
Reapply every 2 hours.
Water Resistant – 40 or 80 minutes.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Sunscreen Basics
Choose SPF 30 or more
for working outdoors.
Use a broad spectrum
sunscreen for UVA and
UVB.
Make sunscreen a daily
habit.
And don’t forget lip balm
with SPF 15 or more.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
What is SPF?
SPF = Sun Protection Factor
SPF tells you how much UV will be
absorbed or reflected.
SPF also tells you how long a
sunscreen will protect your skin from
sunburn.
SPF is a measure of UVB protection,
not a measure of UVA protection.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Strength of Protection
SPF 15 screens 93% of UVB
SPF 30 screens 97% of UVB
SPF 50 screens 98% of UVB
SPF 70 screens 98.5% of UVB
SPF 100 screens 99% of UVB
No sunscreen blocks 100% of UV.
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Length of Protection
Your Time To Burn Without Protection
x SPF of your sunscreen
= ____ MINUTES OF PROTECTION
Examples (fair skin):
12 minutes x SPF 15 = 180 minutes (3 hours) until sunburn
12 minutes x SPF 30 = 360 minutes (6 hours) until sunburn
12 minutes x SPF 45 = 540 minutes (9 hours) until sunburn
The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
Two Types of Sunscreen
Chemical UV Absorbers
– Chemicals that work like a sponge on your skin to absorb UV for
a set amount of time
– Need time to bond with skin; do not work right away
– Harder to rub off
Physical Reflectors
– Tiny metals that work like aluminum foil to reflects UV away from
your skin
– Don’t need time to bond with skin; work right away
– Easier to rub off
Both work well; use what you like.

Editor's Notes

  1. How does UV happen???
  2. How does UV happen???
  3. Exposure to the sun is associated with many positive aspects of our lives. However, despite the sun’s positive effects, it is important that we acknowledge the harms that come with too much UNPROTECTED exposure to UV. The Benefits Heat, Light, Photosynthesis, Outdoor environment for physical activity, Production of vitamin D, Happy and positive feelings The Harms Suntans, Sunburns, Skin aging and wrinkles, Freckles, Skin cancer, Eye damage (Cataracts), Immune system suppression We want to enjoy the benefits we get from working in the sun, while at the same time, minimize the harms. This educational program will show you how to reduce your risk … note that the harms come from the UV Rays…..
  4. Take a look at this diagram. It shows the 3 major layers of the skin. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin--the one you see when you look at yourself. The dermis is the middle layer of skin. It is much thicker than the epidermis and contains hair follicles, sweat glands, blood vessels and nerves. The subcutis lies below the dermis and is a network of fat cells and collagen. It keeps your body warm and acts like a shock absorber to protect you from injury. Different wavelengths of UV rays penetrate different layers of your skin. UVB radiation is responsible for sunburns (Think: &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;Burning&amp;quot;) and basal and squamous cell skin cancers. UVA radiation also plays a part in sunburns, but because it can get through to deeper layers of your skin (all the way to the dermis), it&amp;apos;s also responsible for wrinkling, aging (Think: &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;Aging&amp;quot;) and melanoma. UVC is absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere.
  5. This is a different view of our skin and illustrates the location of the basal, squamous, and melanocyte cells.
  6. The best medical evidence indicates that exposure to too much of the sun’s UV rays over a long period of time can cause skin cancer There are 3 kinds of skin cancer Skin cancer comes in 3 forms. Each form affects a different kind of cell in the skin’s epidermis: 1) basal cells (basal cell cancer), 2) squamous cells (squamous cell cancer) and 3) melanocytes (melanoma). Both basal cell and squamous cell cancers are highly treatable and are usually not deadly if detected and removed at an early stage – though they can be disfiguring. Malignant melanoma, on the other hand, is an extremely aggressive cancer that can quickly metastasize to other locations. All skin cancers, if detected early, can be removed. Regardless, once a person has been diagnosed with a skin cancer, that person is more likely to have additional cancers in his or her lifetime; so regular medical checkups are crucial. Despite the high cure rate, any kind of skin cancer is bad, and reducing your exposure to the sun’s UV rays can prevent 90% of skin cancers.
  7. Melanoma:Cancer of the melanocytes in the skin’s epidermis. Also called malignant melanoma, this is the worst kind of skin cancer. Melanoma can be deadly if not caught and treated before it spreads. Malignant:Tending or likely to result in death. Malignant melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer, can quickly spread to other places in your body.
  8. In reaction to sunlight, the skin sun tans by producing melanin. Melanin darkens the skin in an attempt to protect it from the damaging UV rays. So, a sun tan is a sign that your skin has been over-exposed to UV rays and it is trying to protect itself from more harm. However, contrary to a popular myth, a sun tan is not the best way to protect you from skin damage. And a so-called, &amp;quot;base tan,&amp;quot; will only give your skin a very small amount of protection. Plain and simple— a sun tan isn’t “healthy.” Avoid sunburning. Intense, intermittent exposure to UV rays appears to increase the risk of developing basal cell and melanoma skin cancer. Reduce total exposure to UV rays over your lifetime. People who are chronically exposed to the sun, like people who regularly work outdoors, are more likely to develop non-melanoma skin cancers, especially squamous cell skin cancers. Estimates suggest that outdoor workers are one and a half to three times more likely to develop non-melanoma skin cancer than indoor workers are. Outdoor workers may also be at greater risk of developing melanoma, lip cancer, and melanoma of the eye. Sun damage is forever; it cannot be reversed.
  9. It is important to remember that since we live in a state with abundant sunshine and high altitude, we all have to be careful in the sun – no matter what our Skin Type is! Now let’s look at how the sun can damage our skin.
  10. However, we can certainly reduce our risks – Although sunlight is necessary for sight and for some biological functions – we do not need as much of it as most of us think for the body to function properly – so we there are several factors that influence one’s chances of being exposed to too many of the sun’s damaging rays ---and these include
  11. In the previous modules, we covered the risks that come with sun exposure and the types of skin cancer. With that information as background, this module will show you that it is actually very easy to protect yourself from being over-exposed to the sun&amp;apos;s harmful UV rays. Practice These Sun Safe Behaviors: Limit your Time in the Sun Wear Sun Safe Clothing Wear a Hat with a Brim or Flap in the Back Wear 100% UV-blocking Sunglasses or Safety Goggles Wear Sunscreen &amp; Lip Balm with SPF 15 or more
  12. It can be very hard to avoid the sun when outdoor workers are exposed all day long. But, you should limit your time in the sun by seeking shade and going indoors whenever possible. Do whatever you can to limit your time in the sun, especially during the middle of the day. For instance, sitting in the shade or indoors on your breaks from work or on your lunch hour will give your body a break from the sun. If you drive a lot for work, remember that car window glass blocks UVB rays but only some UVA rays. Check the UV Index in the newspaper every day. The higher the number (on a 1 to 10+ scale) the greater the UV intensity that day. Take extra precautions on high UV days.
  13. You can increase your protection from the sun by wearing clothing and hats that cover your skin and shade your eyes. These items often protect your skin from the sun better than sunscreen. They block UVA and UVB. They don’t sweat off. And they don’t need to be re-applied. More is better! When choosing hats and clothing, select long-sleeved shirts rather than tank tops or short-sleeved shirts. Select pants rather than shorts. Tightly woven clothes block sunlight, regardless of color. The tighter the weave of the fabric in your hats and clothes, the better the protection that they afford. Dark colored fabrics absorb more UV than light colored fabrics. Look for UPF 15 to 50+
  14. “The 69-year-old man in this photo (above) drove a delivery truck in the Chicago area for 28 years. He came in to be checked for a history of gradual thickening and wrinkling of the skin on the left side of his face. Findings were consistent with photo=damaged skin, known as dermatoheliosis. Many people aren’t aware that ultraviolet A (UVA) rays transmit through window glass, affecting the epidermis and upper layers of dermis and causing destruction of elastic fibers.” (NEJM)

  16. Protecting your eyes from UV rays is just as important as protecting your skin. A common eye problem related to UV exposure is cataracts. Cataracts are a clouding of the lens of the eye and may lead to blindness. Wearing sunglasses that block 99-100% of UV rays will protect your eyes from over-exposure to the sun. Sunglasses have labels that indicate how much UV they block. Look for: - Blocks 99-100% UV - UV absorption up to 400 nm (nanometers) - Meets ANSI Z80.3 Many sunglasses that block 100% UV are inexpensive.
  17. Regardless of your skin type, select a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Use SPF 30 or more if you’ll be in the sun all day. Make sure the sunscreen protects you from both UVA and UVB. The label on the sunscreen bottle should say “Blocks UVA/ UVB” or &amp;quot;broad spectrum sunscreen.” Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going out. Some products need time to be absorbed by your skin before they start working. Apply it over all exposed skin. Don&amp;apos;t forget places like the back of your ears, on your neck, and on your hands. Use an amount of sunscreen the size of a large grape to cover your face, ears, neck, and hands. Most people don’t apply enough and sunscreen won’t work fully if you don’t use enough. Reapply sunscreen every two hours. Sunscreen can stop working if you sweat it off or rub it off. Select a water-resistant sunscreen. The type that won&amp;apos;t stop working when you sweat. Make it a habit! Put on sunscreen at the beginning of every day – winter or summer.

  19. People are often confused by the term SPF. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor…a number that tells you how long the sunscreen will protect your skin from sun burning. SPF also tells you the amount of protection. For example, SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB, SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB, and SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB. No sunscreen ever blocks 100% of UV. Notice also that SPF is a measure of UVB only. It does not measure UVA protection. So be sure you use a broad spectrum sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB. Don’t forget lip balm sunscreen for your lips with an SPF of 15 or more.
  20. Most of us have a pretty good idea how long it takes our skin to burn. By sunburn, I mean turn red. Even if it is not painful, skin that turns red reveals a sunburn. For example, say you know that if you are outside in June for 12 minutes, your skin will begin to redden and sunburn. To determine how long a sunscreen of SPF 30 will protect your skin from sunburn, multiply 12 minutes by 30 (the SPF). This calculation shows you that you can stay outside for 360 minutes (6 hours) with SPF 30 before your skin will burn. END OF MODULE THREE
  21. Congratulations, this is the final module in the UVFx training and you are well on your way to becoming a sun safe employee. However, sun safe actions don&amp;apos;t stop there. Early detection is an important step in preventing skin cancer. Learn “The ABCD Rule” and give yourself a monthly skin self-exam to detect skin cancer early.
  22. Check your skin on a monthly basis for sores that won’t heal or changes in the size, number, shape, and color of spots or moles. Look for danger signs in moles using the ABCD rule: A is for Asymmetry: One half of the mole or birthmark does not match the other. B is for Border: The edges are ragged, irregular,or poorly defined. C is for Color: The color varies from one area to another; may have differing shades of brown or black, sometimes white, red or blue. D is for Diameter: The area is larger than 6 mm (as a general rule, the size of a pencil eraser) and is growing larger. If you have any of the warning signs, consult a doctor immediately. When detected early, melanoma can often be removed and treated.
  23. It is important to remember that since we live in a state with abundant sunshine and high altitude, we all have to be careful in the sun – no matter what our Skin Type is! Now let’s look at how the sun can damage our skin.
  24. SUMMARY EVERYONE needs to be sun safe Avoid sunburning and suntanning ALWAYS Wear sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher Wear Protective clothing, hats and eyewear Limit your time in the sun Practice early detection
