Results of occupational UV exposure measurements

Since 2014, approximately 969 workers have taken part in GENESIS-UV measurement campaigns. These have yielded over 3 billion valid data records to date, equating to well over 80,000 days of measurement. Almost 100 different occupations/sub-task groups have been studied. The results from the years 2014 to 2019 were summarised in IFA Report 4/2020 (in German only).

Consideration of the ten occupations associated with the highest exposure to solar radiation shows many of them to be in the building trade, but some also in the raw materials extraction and agricultural sectors.

The results obtained for the occupations and tasks evaluated to date can be exported as web pages:
