2 Scorched by the Sun 90% More than 90 percent of the visible changes commonly attributed to skin aging are caused by the sun 24% People who use sunscreen daily show 24 percent less skin aging than those who do not use sunscreen

3 UVC Rays Weakest UVB Rays Moderate UVA Rays - Strongest UVC Rays get Stopped by Ozone Layer

4 Earth 95% of the UV Radiation that reaches the Earth is the UVA Ray

5 Ultraviolet Light vs Visible Light

6 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. - Chair of Biology Westminster College

7 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

8 SPF = Sun Protection Factor FDA states: NO SPF higher than 50 The difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50 is 1 % protection The number of the SPF represents the level of sun burn protection against the UVB Ray only. SPF 30 = 300 minutes Sun Burn Protection Any sunscreen with an SPF below 15 cannot claim Protection Against Skin Cancer.

9 SPF and Water Resistance Test (FDA) Example of testing a manufacture has to pass in order to claim their SPF number.

10 UVA Rays Strongest UVA Rays account up to 95% of the Radiation that reaches the Earth UVA Rays Penetrate the Skin

11 UVA Rays Reflect Off Water, Concrete, Asphalt & Snow UVA Rays cause Wrinkles, Skin Aging, Moles, Sun Spots, and Cataracts UVA Rays can penetrate glass, windshields, and clothing The outside worker receives a double dose of UVA Rays - One from the Sun and one from the reflection as shown above.

12 Nearly 5.4 Million cases of Skin Cancer will be treated in the US Basal Cell Squamous Cell Melanoma Most common. Over 2.8 million cases 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. Over 700,000 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 Can be fatal if not treated. 76,380 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. 1 person dies of Melanoma every 52 minutes

13 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

14 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.

15 Sunscreen Ad s From 1920 to 1950 Tanning is now fashionable. First self tanning products emerge. Sun lamps on the market. Sunburns, Sunburns, Sunburns!!! Sunburns just a part of life. Products made to soothe a sunburn rather than prevent.

16 Sunscreen Ad s From 1960 to 1990 Tanning Sprays hit the market. First water resistant products. First links are found between the sun and skin aging. SPF is born (Sun Protection Factor). Education about skin cancer becomes prevalent. Fake tanning products are produced.

17 2014 FDA Sunscreen Labeling Requirements Nothing higher than SPF 50+ Only Water Resistant, no Water Proof Broad Spectrum Claim only if it reaches 370nm New Labeling Requirements for FDA Registered US Manufactures Test for 0 min 40 min & 80 min

18 No Longer Legal to be Manufactured Per FDA The agency currently considers wipes, towelettes, powders, body washes, and shampoo not eligible for the monograph. Therefore, they cannot be marketed without an approved application umerupdates/ucm htm

19 FDA States Spray Sunscreens are Bad for Children Can cause burns Contains up to 70% Denatured Alcohol Poison The active ingredients have never been tested internally in the body. Flammable, Harmful & Toxic We now say that until the FDA completes its analysis, the products should generally not be used by or on children

20 Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens For UVA protection the FDA has approved 3 Active Ingredients CHEMICAL PROTECTION Avobenzone PHYSICAL PROTECTION Zinc Oxide Titanium Dioxide

21 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

22 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 photostabilizers. 95% of Sunscreens are Manufactured with the Chemical Avobenzone for UVA protection

23 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) FDA recommends that you reapply sunscreen every 2 hours As the Australians always say: SLIP Into a long sleeve shirt SLAP On a Hat SLOP On Sunscreen

24

25

26 UV Protective Clothing UPF Ultraviolet Protection Factor Determines the amount of UV radiation that is being absorbed or blocked from the clothing UPF 50 = 1/50 th 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

27 Welders & Skin Cancer UV Radiation Emissions from Welding They need to use a Physical Sunscreen for maximum protection

28 Polarized Sunglasses UV Coated UVB & UVA Rays can cause cataracts and burning of the skin around your eye. UV protectant sunglasses physically protect against UVB & UVA Rays from the Sun. Polarized lens only block the glare from water and snow. 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

29 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.

30 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 419,000 cases of Skin Cancer are linked to 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. 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.

31 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? Just 5-10 minutes a day MAX vitamin D intake

32 Complying with International Standards FDA United Stated for Full Broad Spectrum ISO24442 International Determination of UVA Protection Factor ISO24443 International Determination of Critical Wavelength Protection ISO24444 International Standards for SPF Determination of Sunscreen Industrial Sunscreen complies with worldwide Sunscreen standards and is able to be sold throughout the world Passed ASTM D120 compliant and Arc Flash Utilities Testing

33 Heat Stress

34 According to the Mayo Clinic one major way to prevent Heat Stress is to Avoid a Sunburn. A Sunburn reduces your body's ability to rid itself of heat. Heat Stress Warning Signs Ways to Avoid Heat Stress Profuse Sweating Limit Physical Activity in the Sun Nausea or vomiting Seek Cooler Places Paleness or Headache Drink 2-5x more water Dizziness Take Precautions with Medications Fast, Shallow breaths Muscle Weakness or Cramps Rapid Pulse Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing Let Your Body Acclimate to the Heat Always wear sunscreen!

35 Surgeon General Issues Skin Cancer Warning July 30 th 2014 The U.S. Surgeon General issued a Call to Action describing Skin Cancer as a major public health problem. We have to change the social view that tanned skin is good and healthy when in reality tanned skin is damaged skin. He also stated We have public health issues, and we want employers 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 educating their workers and making sure they use protection. Its hats, its SUNSCREEN.

36 In conclusion we believe the outside worker should have A 4 inch brimmed hat Wear Clothes with UPF of Wear UV400 Sunglasses Provide a Full Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Physical Sunscreen with 80 Minute Water Resistance
