Background: Because of being exposed to a wide range of ultraviolet radiations, welders are prone to eye and skin diseases. This study aims at determining the ultraviolet exposure level in welding workers of Sar-Cheshmeh Copper Complex.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2010 on all welding workers of the complex using Hagner UV digital radiometer.
Results: The mean value for the received ultraviolet radiation level was 0.09±0.045 j2/cm2. The level of UV exposure was significantly different (p=0.001) for the welders working in different units of the complex. The mineworkers received the highest level of radiation (0.14 j2/cm2).
Conclusion: In this study, the ultraviolet exposure of welding workers is below the allowable threshold limit for UV radiation
