Occupational titles	All cutaneous melanoma
	Complete cohort				60–70 subcohort
			Intrasectorial				Intrasectorial
	C	SIR	RR	95% CI	C	SIR	RR	95% CI
C, cases; SIR, age-period standardised incidence ratio; RR, age-period-town size geographically adjusted intrasectorial risk ratio; CI, confidence interval.
All occupations with a minimum of 5 cases in all cases and (a) RR ⩾1.5 for global cutaneous melanoma in the cohort or subcohort, or (b) a minimum of 3 cases and RR ⩾2 in any of the sites in the cohort, regardless of its statistical significance are reported.
