BACKGROUND
Occupational sun protection is recommended by government health authorities. Sun safety policies and predictors of managers' reports of sun safety actions were assessed.
METHODS
Written policies from 21 state departments of transportation (DOTs) enrolled in a randomized trial to test methods for scaling-up an occupational sun safety intervention were coded for sun safety content at baseline. Managers (n = 1113) supervising outdoor workers reported on sun safety actions in a baseline survey.
RESULTS
Twenty state DOTs (95.2%) have a policy with at least one sun protection component. Sun safety training was increased at workplaces with a written sun safety policy (p < 0.001) and unwritten standard procedures on sun protection (p < 0.001). Reported sun safety actions were highest where there was a written sun safety policy (p < 0.001) and unwritten standard procedures on sun protection (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Policies are essential for the implementation of employee sun safety. There is room for improvement in existing policies of state DOTs.
背景
政府卫生部门建议进行职业性防晒。评估了防晒安全政策和管理人员报告防晒措施的预测因素。
方法
参与一项旨在测试扩大职业性防晒干预措施方法的随机试验的 21 个州运输部（DOT）的书面政策，在基线时对防晒内容进行了编码。监管户外工人的管理人员（n=1113）在基线调查中报告了防晒措施。
结果
20 个州 DOT（95.2%）的政策至少有一个防晒组成部分。有书面防晒政策的工作场所（p<0.001）和关于防晒的未成文标准程序（p<0.001）增加了防晒培训。有书面防晒政策（p<0.001）和关于防晒的未成文标准程序（p<0.001）的地方报告的防晒措施最多。
结论
政策对于实施员工防晒措施至关重要。州 DOT 的现有政策还有改进的空间。
