The strength of UV radiation varies, depending on the world location, the time of year and O.5.1.3 on a number of different weather factors. Sunlight and, therefore, UV radiation is at its strongest during the summer and between 10:00 h and 16:00 h. However, there is UV radiation even on cloudy days. Working outdoors without proper protection increases the possibility of sunburn and of more serious conditions, i.e. skin cancer and eye damage, especially during the summer.O.5.1.4 At worksites where there are areas of reflective surfaces, e.g. snow; light-coloured sand; concrete; glass; metal; bodies of water, any exposed skin may be subject to UV radiation not only from above and to the side but also from below by reflected light, with an increased risk of sunburn and other harmful effects.
