Construction charity We Build the Future has launched a sun safety campaign to help reduce the risk and incidence of skin cancer among people working in the built environment sector.
Construction workers are at a heightened risk of developing skin cancer because of over exposure to UV radiation. They account for 44% of occupational skin cancer diagnosis and 42% of occupational skin cancer deaths each year – despite construction workers making up only 8% of the workforce.
We Build the Future’s preventative campaign aims to help reduce the risk and incidence of skin cancer by promoting sun safety practices on every building site.
