Solar UV-radiation
The job-exposure matrix for solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a newly developed JEM.
Using two sets of data: semi-quantitative expert ratings of daily average duration of outdoor work for all occupations in ISCO-88(COM), as well as personal measurements of occupational solar UVR exposure levels identified for a subset of occupations identified in the published peer reviewed literature. This combination allows for estimations for occupations with no available UVR measurements.
