Safety Focus of the Week: Sun Exposure
Much of our work involves being outside and requires us to be diligent about protecting ourselves from the harmful affects of the suns rays – particularly this time of year. For the most part it’s all common sense:
- Work in shade whenever possible. Sometimes it makes sense to use a sun umbrella or a fold-up canopy.
- Wear a hat. Those of us that have less hair on the tops of our heads are far more susceptible to over-exposure.
- Wear UV protective clothing when possible.
- Apply sunscreen regularly throughout the day.
- Wear UV protective sunglasses.
