Safe in the sun?
25 June 2014
With many of us at last enjoying some summer sunshine, Deb has issued a timely reminder of the risks of solar radiation and skin cancer for outdoor workers and has introduced a new SunPROTECT Skin Safety Centre.

The Deb SunPROTECT Skin Safety Centre contains facts and statistics on skin cancer and is pre-assembled with a Deb SunPROTECT 1L lockable dispenser and a mirror to assist with sun screen application. The board also includes a holder and cards to display the daily UV index level, which provides a clear indication of when outdoor workers need to protect themselves for their specific locations. Based on guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation in 2005, protection from the sun is required as soon as the UV Index reaches 3.
Deb Sun PROTECT is a SPF30 sunscreen to protect the skin against the sun’s harmful UV-A (ageing) & UV-B (burning) rays. Perfume-free and non-greasy, its photostable formula contains moisturisers and is water-resistant.
Outdoor workers have a higher risk of developing skin cancer; it is therefore essential that employees are aware of the risks and how to avoid them.
