Promoting sun safety

Deb and skin cancer
charity SKCIN are
working together to
promote sun safety. For
every Deb Sun Protect
product sold in the UK,
Deb will make a
charitable donation to
SKCIN.

Employers have a legal ‘duty of
care’ to assess the risks of working in
the sun, as well as other risks, and to
take necessary preventative actions
such as choosing the right protective
equipment and skin care products,
advising employees on sun
protection and how to check for
early signs of skin damage, changes
or abnormalities.

Phil Spark, marketing
director at Deb advises:
“Organisations should
work with companies
who are experts in skin
care to provide a
systemised skin safety
solution along with
providing advice and educational
materials based on the HSE’s 6-point
code2.”
Sunscreen helps reduce the risks
of damage to the skin. For outdoor
working a minimum SPF of 30 is
recommended.
