About this session
Work-related sun exposure is not limited to people who spend an entire shift outdoors.
Commuting, walking between buildings, supervising activities, driving, loading equipment, taking breaks outside and attending off-site events can all add to the amount of ultraviolet radiation a person receives.
Because ultraviolet exposure is not always accompanied by strong heat or obvious sunburn, it can be easy to underestimate.
Cloud, wind and cooler temperatures may make the day feel less intense without removing ultraviolet risk, while repeated exposure can accumulate across ordinary working weeks.
Ultraviolet radiation can damage skin cells and contribute to premature skin aging and skin cancer, as CDC guidance on reducing skin cancer risk notes.
This session helps participants map where sun exposure occurs during their working day and choose protection that fits their role, clothing, environment and schedule.
The emphasis is on layered, repeatable habits rather than relying on sunscreen alone or expecting employees to manage workplace exposure without suitable organizational support.
