Campaign focuses on protecting farmers from heat stress, skin cancer
July 8, 2015
Iowa City, IA – A new campaign is reminding farmers about the dangers of skin cancer and heat stress, and how to stay protected.
Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health and the Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health have created a poster and radio clips for the campaign.
The poster states that farmers and other outside workers receive 2-3 times as much ultraviolet radiation from the sun as indoor workers. Using images, the poster also illustrates the warning signs of melanoma (the most severe type of skin cancer): asymmetry, border, color, diameter and evolving.
Additional tips for farmers include:
Wear light, breathable fabric such as cotton.
