Skin cancer and outdoor work -
"Working safely in the sun"
iCourses and the SunSmart program of The Cancer Council of Victoria have developed a new national sun safety online training course, that is now available to be purchased and completed online!
Remember when working outdoors, the Cancer Council Australia recommends five simple steps to protect your skin from sun damage:
- Reduce exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation
- Slip on sun protective work clothing
- Slap on a hat
- Slide on some sunglasses
- Slop on SPF 30+ sunscreen
The Cancer Council Australia warns of ‘a wave of litigation’ to result from employer failure to meet sun protection requirements in the workplace. Sun protection is now squarely on the agenda alongside other OHS issues and employers of outdoor workers have a duty of care to protect them.
