UV Rays Cause Skin Cancer

 UV rays continually damage and alter the

structure of our skin cells DNA.

 Skin cells continually fix and repair damaged

DNA

 The continuous repair and skin cell corrections

actually lead to a cell dying or becoming
cancerous

 “…UV kills cells because of the accumulation of

DNA damage.”

UVB Rays = SUNBURN

UVB radiation causes

sunburn, darkening
and thickening of the
outer layer of the skin

UVB Rays do not

penetrate the outer
layer of your skin

UVB Rays are the

chief culprit behind
Sunburns
SPF = “Sun Protection Factor”
The number of the SPF represents
the level of sun burn protection
against the UVB Ray only.
FDA states: SPF 30 = 300 minutes Sun Burn
NO SPF Protection
higher
than 50 The FDA recommends that you
reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.

Any sunscreen with an SPF below

The difference between SPF 30 and
SPF 50 is 1 % protection. 15 cannot claim “Protection
Against Skin Cancer.”

 Causes, Wrinkles, Skin Aging, Moles, Sun  UVA Rays can reflect off of water, concrete,
Spots, and Cataracts asphalt, and snow.

 Can penetrate glass, windshields, and  The outside worker receives a double dose of

3 Types of Skin Cancer
 Basal Cell
 Most common. Over1 million US
cases each year.
 Small reddish patch, shiny bump
or pink growth.
 Very treatable, has to be cut out
of your skin or burned off with
cauterizing pen.
 Squamous Cell
 250, 000 new cases ever year.
 Scaly red patch, wart like, or
an elevated growth.
 Very treatable, has to be cut
out of your skin or burned off
with cauterizing pen
 Melanoma
 Can be fatal if not treated early. 63,000 cases
each year
 Can metastasize quickly and spread to other
areas of the body.
 Usually a brown or black mark but also red or even
white.
 Treatment more intense: surgical removal
sometimes removing large areas of the body
because melanoma is like an iceberg – much
larger under the surface of the skin.
What to Look For &
Skin Cancer
Prevention
Moles, Birthmarks, & Discolorations
• Change in color

• Increase in size or thickness

• Change in texture

• Irregular outline

• Larger than a pencil eraser

Skin Cancer is a Billion Dollar Industry
 Since 2006 there has been a 126.2% increase in
skin cancer diagnosis and treatment - $3.6 billion
to $8.1 billion.

 An estimated 11,000 cases of skin cancer could be

avoided if proper prevention is introduced.

 For every dollar spent on prevention $2 can be

saved in diagnosis and treatment.

 Developing a Sunscreen Program for you outside

workers will save the company from insurance
rates going up and time off the job.

Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens
The FDA Approved ( 3 ) Active
Ingredients for UVA protection

CHEMICAL PROTECTION

Avobenzone

PHYSICAL PROTECTION

Zinc Oxide

Titanium Dioxide
 Dr. Oz Physical vs Chemical

 “…lose as much as 90% of their

effectiveness in just an hour, so they
need to be reapplied often…”
 “…Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, the
two minerals or Physical
Sunscreens…they sit on the surface of
the skin and physically block UVB & UVA
Rays.”
 Watch THIS VIDEO and see what he says
Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens
“Avobenzone has been shown to
degrade significantly in light, resulting in
less protection over time.]The UV-A light
in a day of sunlight in a temperate
climate is sufficient to break down most
of the compound….The FDA indicates
a -36% change in avobenzone's UV
absorbance following one hour of
exposure to sunlight This degradation
can be reduced by using a
photostabilizer, like octocrylene.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avobenzone

Approximately 95% sunscreens are manufactured with Avobenzone

Skin Cancer Prevention
 See your dermatologist or physician
every year for a professional skin exam.
 Examine your skin head to toe every
month. Pay attention to your body, the
earlier the abnormal growth is treated
the less harm it will cause.
 Cover up with UV protectant clothing,
wear 4 inch broad brimmed hats and
UV blocking sunglasses (UPF rating)

 As the Australians always say:

 SLIP Into a long sleeve shirt
 SLAP On a Hat
Wear Sunscreen!  SLOP On Sunscreen
UV Protective Clothing
 UPF – Ultraviolet Protection
Factor

 Determines the amount of UV

radiation that is being
absorbed or blocked from the
clothing

 UPF 50 = 1/50th of the UV

radiation penetrating the
fabric

 The following features affect

the natural level of sun
protection provided by any
fabric
Weave Stretch Age
Color Wetness
Weight Content
 Sun Protection Clothing
 Sun protective clothing is clothing specifically designed for sun
protection and is produced from a fabric rated for its level of
ultraviolet (UV) protection

 All fabrics disrupt UV radiation to some degree. Clothing that does the
best job carries an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating from 15
(good) to 50+ (excellent).

UPF Rating Protection Category % UV radiation Blocked

UPF 15 - 24 Good 93.3 - 95.9
UPF 25 - 39 Very Good 96.0 - 97.4
UPF 40 - 50+ Excellent 97.5 - 99+
 Sunglasses
Polarized UV Coated
 UVB & UVA Rays can cause cataracts and
burning of the skin around your eye.

 Polarized lens’ only block the glare from water

and snow.

 UV protectant sunglasses physically protect

against UVB & UVA Rays from the Sun.

 UV Lenses should meet ANSI Z80.3 blocking

requirements. (This refers to standards set by the
American National Standards Institute.)

 Look for lenses with “UV 400 protection”

Older White Men at Greatest Risk
 Men spend more time outdoors exposed to UV radiation

 Men are less diligent about wearing sunscreen

 Men are less likely to perform self-skin exams or visit the

dermatologist

 Current melanoma incidence in older white males (65 and

older) is about 5 times that of the general population
Dangers of Skin Cancer are Everywhere
Airline Crews
 Risk of Skin Cancer doubles
with Pilots
 A flight from LAX to JFK will
expose a pilot to the same
radiation as a chest X-Ray.
Gel Nails
 Exposure to UV Nail lights
over long periods of time
increase risk of Skin Cancer
 One of the most unnoticed
area where skin cancer
develops is under your finger
and toe nails
Drivers & Truckers
 Truck drivers develop Skin
Cancer on left side of there
face and arms .
 Windows, even tinted
windows only block a small
amount of UV rays.
Dangers of Skin Cancer are Everywhere
Tanning Beds
 If you use a tanning bed more
than 6x’s – increase chance of
getting Skin Cancer by 76%
 More than 170,000 cases of
non-melanoma skin cancer in
the US each year are
associated with indoor
tanning.
Tattoos in the Sun
 UVA Rays penetrate deep into
the skin dispersing the
tattooed ink
 Tattoos are amazing works of
art that can easily fade over
time without proper sun
protection. Always use a Zinc
Oxide Sunscreen
Transplant Patients
 Transplant patients have a
higher risk for developing Skin
Cancer compared to General
Public
 The frequency at which
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
occurs in transplant patients is
65 times greater than the
general population.
Sunscreen & Vitamin D
 Vitamin D supports calcium
absorption in the body that
promotes healthy bones & the
body’s immune system.

 How long do you have to be in the

sun before you reach your
maximum Vitamin D daily intake?

 Just5-10 minutes a day – MAX

vitamin D intake
 Skin Damage Myths
1. Teens and young adults can afford to tan and burn
since people don’t develop skin cancer until they are
much older.
a. False they couldn’t be further from the
truth, ages 15 to 29 are the most common
ages to begin to develop skin cancer.
2. You can’t tan or burn on a cloudy day so you don’t
need sun protection.
b. False some 80% of the suns UV rays can
penetrate rain and fog so you need to
practice sun protection on overcast days.
3. People who tan easily or have naturally dark skin don’t
have to worry about skin cancer.
c. False while having fair skin and red or
blonde hair puts you at a higher risk of skin
cancer all skin tones can develop skin
cancer.
4. Getting a base tan before a vacation
can help protect you from getting a
sunburn.
d. False a tan is your skins reaction to
DNA damage from UV rays`. When
your skin tans it is producing
melanin which is how it protects
against further damage. This is the
equivalent to a SPF 4, there is no
such thing as a healthy tan
5. Indoor tanning is safer than outdoor tanning
e. False, Indoor tanning and tanning
outside are equally dangerous. Artificial UV
rays from indoor tanning beds are typically
stronger than actual UV rays from the sun

Heat Stress
 According to the Mayo Clinic one major way to prevent Heat Stress is to Avoid
sunburn. Having a sunburn reduces your body's ability to rid itself of heat. They
recommend applying a mineral based Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30+ before
heading outside.

Heat Stress Warning Signs Ways to Avoid Heat Stress

 Profuse Sweating
 Nausea or vomiting
 Paleness or Headache
 Dizziness
 Fast, Shallow breaths
 Muscle Weakness or Cramps
 Rapid Pulse
 Limit Physical Activity in the Sun
 Use Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30+
 Seek Cooler Places
 Drink 2-5x more water
 Take Precautions with
Medications
 Wear lightweight, light-colored
clothing
 Let Your Body Acclimate to the
Heat
Surgeon General Issues Skin Cancer
Warning July 30th 2014
 The U.S. Surgeon General issued a “Call to Action” describing
Skin Cancer as a “major public health problem.”

 He also stated “We have public health issues, and we want

people to contribute their part to making things better.
Examples include employers who have OUTDOOR WORKERS.
What can they do to decrease the amount of UV exposure to
their workers? Its about the induction of shady areas,
educating their workers and making sure they use protection.
Its hats, its SUNSCREEN.”

 We have to change the social view that tanned skin is good

and healthy when in reality tanned skin is damaged skin.
 In conclusion we believe the
outside worker should have

A 4 inch brimmed hat

 Wear Clothes with UPF of 25-39
 Wear UV400 Sunglasses
 Provide a Full Broad Spectrum Physical Sunscreen
