Outdoor workers are 3 times as likely to develop skin cancer as indoor workers. Dr @cherylepeters.bsky.social will use existing data to estimate the rates and costs of skin cancers caused by workplace sun exposure. The goal: to guide national efforts to reduce sun exposure and prevent future cases.

Dr Paul Demers will study the latest statistics to estimate how many work-related lung cancers are likely to arise in 2026 and how much they may cost workers and healthcare systems. He hopes this information will pave the way to better workplace #cancer awareness and prevention.

Many construction workers may be exposed to asbestos, which can cause lung cancer. It’s unclear how many undergo lung cancer screening or how their health and care compare to that of other construction workers. Dr Nathan DeBono aims to improve cancer prevention and screening for this at-risk group.
