title: [Civil construction workers and preventive measures against skin cancer: nursing contribution].
abstract: Civil construction's workers are one of the most risk groups to the occupational cancer. The purpose was to identify these workers knowledge about skin cancer and describe protection/prevention measures adopted by them. This is a descriptive and qualitative nature research, developed with 50 workers of a great load building site firm at municipal district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data was collected through a form. From descriptive and statistical analysis, the results showed that the protection measures adopted by workers to avoid skin cancer are insufficient; moreover, they are not used in an aligned way with the literature. The most important necessary change relates to ife styles and access to information and knowledge about skin cancer. Thus, nursing's interventions along the Worker's Health stuff can contribute to the implementation of preventive measures against occupational cancer.
