The workplace is a major source of solar UV radiation exposure for many adult Australians with outdoor workers having between five and ten times more sun exposure than indoor workers. Exposure to solar UV radiation is the cause of about 99 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers and 95 percent of melanoma in Australia.

Although it is always best to try and use the heirarchy of workplace controls to manage this hazard, it's often not possible to move the work inside or simply get out of the sun. In this case, PPE is required which includes sunscreen. Workers should use a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher that is broad-spectrum, meaning it filters UVA and UVB radiation and is water resistant.

Lips should also be protected with a lip balm containing SPF 30 or higher.
