Sun Safety at Work
Worldwide, skin cancer is the most diagnosed cancer, with one in three cancers being a skin cancer. For outdoor workers, prolonged sun exposure is an important workplace hazard that can cause skin cancer and heat stress, both of which are largely preventable. However, outdoor workers are regularly over-exposed to the sun, often exceeding the recognized exposure limits by many times. They are also often not well protected. As implementing effective sun safety measures is challenging, this Guide, along with its supporting resources, will help workplaces better protect their outdoor workers. This Guide provides a step-by-step process to develop a Sun Safety Program that is designed to complement existing safety practices and be embedded within a workplace's occupational health and safety management system.

Canadian Occupational Health Standards
Until the mid-1970s, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists produced virtually all of Canada's guidelines and standards for hazardous substances. Since then, a process of Canadianization has been going on, with an ongoing critical evaluation of standard setting processes carried out across Canada. This report discusses the question of how the Centre can facilitate the process, while simultaneously helping to ensure that all Canadians enjoy a healthy and safe working environment. The report begins with an historical overview of standard setting in Canada, then continues with the Centre's mandate for standard setting, definitions of standards, the potential implications of standard setting for the Centre and its constituents, and ends with a review of international standard setting processes, including the United States, the United Nations, Norway, and Sweden.
