(1) You have written a very nice sentence.

(2) You might, however, consider these changes:

Outdoor workers were aware that they were at risk of skin cancer; however, their

use of sun protective measures was significantly low.

(a) I personally would prefer "nevertheless" instead of "however."

[Barb_D]

Nice to see you again, Parser. I hope you were enjoying some time off and weren't ill.

[SoothingDave]

Or "despite this" instead of "however."

[Gentle Nguyen]

Or: Outdoor workers were aware of the risk of skin cancer......

[TheParser]

Nice to see you again, Parser. I hope you were enjoying some time off and weren't ill.

Thank you for your kind note. Actually, I have been ill. But the main reason for

my silence is still the same: I do not dare answer most of the questions, for they

are too difficult for me. I simply read the answers from you and the other posters in

order to better understand this magnificent language.

If I am saying significantly low, do I need to say in comparison to what?

If I am saying significantly low, do I need to say in comparison to what?

It's not necessary in this case. The reader will understand that the implied comparison is to the commonly accepted medical recommendation.
