Occupational Sun Exposure

Find out about the risks, legal requirements, and prevention from occupational sun exposure.

Radiation from the sun's UV rays is an invisible killer and causes skin cancer, the most common cancer in the UK. New cases of this largely preventable disease are rising steeply, yet most people would struggle to correctly identify its symptoms. Action needs to be taken to improve sun safety awareness, prevention, and early detection, particularly for outdoor workers who are at significant high-risk.

Arco can help you to raise awareness and drive compliance on-site by providing expert information and support material to help prevent, as far as possible, new skin cancer cases from arising.
