Resumo(s)

Outdoor workers face significant health risks from prolonged exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which can lead to serious conditions such as skin cancer and cataracts, while also offering some potential benefits like reduced risks of certain cancers. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 16 studies, revealing a clear association between occupational solar UVR exposure and adverse health effects, underscoring the urgent need for improved sun protection policies and further research to enhance risk assessment and prevention strategies.
