Skin Cancer Prevention for Outdoor Workers: For healthy work. Against skin cancer.

Centrum Werk Gezondheid is part of the Steering Committee on Skin Cancer Care Netherlands. One of the committee’s key focus areas is skin cancer prevention among outdoor workers.

The committee calls on social partners to join us and the National Skin Foundation (Nationaal Huidfonds) in developing a national programme for sun-safe outdoor working. Such a program might consist of:

Structural education and behavioral interventions

Accessible sun protection equipment in workplaces

Green shade facilities in public and workplace areas

Integrating sun safety into occupational health and safety and climate adaptation policies
