SunSmart workplaces

SunSmart workplaces are organizations that promote sun safety to protect employees from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. By implementing policies such as providing shaded areas, encouraging the use of hats and sunscreen, and scheduling outdoor tasks carefully, these workplaces reduce the risk of skin damage and skin cancer. The goal is to create a culture of awareness, ensuring staff are informed about sun risks and take steps to stay protected during outdoor activities, especially in peak sunlight hours. This proactive approach helps maintain employee health and wellbeing while working outdoors.
