Sun Safety Policy

Policy · POLICY-70026

  • Version 3
  • Miscellaneous
  • Reads on any phone

The Sun Safety Policy is designed to safeguard outdoor workers from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). It is for any organisation aiming to protect its workforce from the high risks associated with sun exposure.

It sets out the policy objective and scope, the sun protection measures you commit to, and what the company, supervisors and workers are each responsible for, ready for your Director or Business Owner to sign.

A review procedure keeps the policy up to date, terminology explains the abbreviations and definitions used, and document control, with distribution and amendment record registers, tracks who holds a copy and what has changed.

Introduction to Sun Safety

Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world - more than 380,000 people are treated for the disease every year. Workers who work outdoors for all or part of the day have a higher-than-average risk of skin cancer because ultra-violet radiation (UVR) in sunlight (solar UVR) is a known carcinogen. All skin types can be damaged by exposure to solar UVR. Damage is permanent and irreversible, and the level of risk increases with each exposure. Highly reflective surfaces can also reflect harmful levels of UVR.
