Safe Skin at Work
SAFETY IS A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES
You make sure they have personal protective equipment every day to prevent injuries on the job. But what about their skin? The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that ultraviolet radiation in the sun’s rays is a known human carcinogen and is considered as dangerous as arsenic and nicotine. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized that safe workplaces promote ways to protect workers’ skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Outdoor Worker Risks
- Receive up to 8 times more UV radiation than indoor workers
- Have a 60% greater risk of developing skin cancer.
- Many workplaces do not have policies or practices in place to protect their workers.
