Protect Your Skin: Stay Safe This Skin Cancer Awareness Month 🌞

🔆 Outdoor workers receive up to 10 times more UV exposure than indoor workers.

☀️ Just one case of sunburn every two years can triple your risk of melanoma.

HSE Guidance for Employers & Outdoor Workers:

Encourage protective clothing: Long sleeves, hats with brims, and UV-rated sunglasses.

Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) regularly — even on cloudy days.

Schedule work wisely: Avoid peak sun hours (11 AM – 3 PM) when possible.

Provide shaded break areas and encourage hydration.

Train staff on sun safety and early signs of skin damage.
