Workwear UK: Not just what you wear in the sun
While the sun is shining it is important to remember that it isn’t just your workwear UK employees have to consider but what you are not wearing could be equally as important in the long run.
It is fairly common for outdoor workers, especially those in the construction field to neglect any type of sun protection, as their attention is focused on the industry’s hazards and taking care of personal safety and the safety of those around them. In addition, certain sunscreen products are seen as being non-absorbent and greasy which can cause certain other difficulties in the workplace. However this particular problem has somewhat improved over the last few years as products have been developed that are absorbed quickly so that application is easier and quicker. Those working outdoors, and everyone who goes outside especially during the hours of 11am and 3pm should be encouraged by employers and fellow workers to apply sunscreen. This should be applied to all uncovered areas including behind the ears, back of hands, face and neck. This will not completely block all of the sun’s rays so those working outdoors should have access to appropriate clothing. For example sun flaps attached to hard hats or loose fitting cotton long sleeved clothing. It may be appropriate to consider the outdoor clothing walkers use that has in-built UPF protection.
The eyes should not be forgotten and sunglasses that block UV rays should be used wherever possible. Cataracts and other eye problems can be caused by over exposure to the sun’s rays.
However, if precautions are taken, we can still enjoy the sunshine, whether we have to utilise workwear UK employers can get further guidance on their responsibilities from various government websites and help lines. Something we all know it won’t last long, will it?
