Managing and monitoring workplace UV exposure
Because sun exposure is a workplace hazard, employers have a responsibility to reduce workers’ exposure to too much solar UV radiation.
Whether they are required to spend time outdoors intermittently or for long periods of time, employers should take action to make sure their people are SunSmart.

WorkSafe includes managing UV exposure as part of what employers must do to ensure any work-related risks don't affect employees' health.
