ROSEMONT, Ill., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent American Academy of Dermatology survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults revealed that outdoor workers – like those who work in construction, landscaping, emergency medical services, and postal delivery – are far more likely to get sunburned and tanned, putting themselves at increased risk for skin cancer, compared to the average American. In recognition of Skin Cancer Awareness Month this May, the AAD encourages everyone – and especially those who work outdoors – to practice safe sun to protect themselves from the sun's harmful rays and reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.

Key Points: 
  • According to the survey, half of outdoor workers were sunburned in 2023, compared to 36 percent reported by the general American population.
  • One in 10 outdoor workers had sunburns severe enough to cause blisters, a rate double that of the general population.
  • And nearly 80 percent of outdoor workers got a tan or darker skin as a result of sun exposure, compared to 67 percent of Americans overall.
  • Tanning and unprotected sun exposure are major risk factors for skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States and one of the most preventable types of cancer.
