Current status of national regulations on tanning bed use and workers' protection from solar ultraviolet radiation: results from a global International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) questionnaire study

The results of the presented study indicate a strong need for further action in terms of skin cancer prevention on different levels. This is of high importance due to the fact that skin cancer is a rapidly increasing global public health concern. This issue is particularly applicable to high-risk groups regarding the development of occupational skin cancer, as (a) outdoor workers as well as (b) people from the general population who may have limited awareness or understanding of UVR exposure risks (e.g., through tanning bed use).
