Be sun-safe all year round

Sun-safety is not only for Summer! Sun exposure is a year-round risk for construction workers.

Just eight per cent of construction workers are properly protected from UV-related skin damage while at work.

You can join Sunsmart's campaign for greater UV safety. To remind everyone on your site of the importance of UV safety download the Sunsmart resources below.

Remember that sunburn isn't the only sign of damage. On construction sites you can be exposed to UV radiation every day. Over time the damage adds up, putting you at greater risk of developing a skin cancer.

There are many ways that we can act to reduce the risks. This campaign is all about encouraging the plumbing industry to take that action now.
