A character steps outside in the upper atmosphere of Venus- how sunburned is he?

For complicated reasons our hero's blimp in the Venus atmosphere at an altitude of 50 km gets a tear in it and sunlight floods inside (there is no gondola, the blimp is a semi-ellipsoid of breathable air), and he is in an area of direct sunlight for half an hour. He doesn't have to worry about air for a while as the blimp is huge and there is little pressure difference between the exterior and interior at that altitude. Does venus's atmosphere above 50km have a similar UV blocking effect to the ozone layer? Will he get badly sunburnt?
