Sun Safety Policy
Outdoor workers, such as green keepers receive up to 10 times more UV exposure per year than indoor workers, putting them at greater risk of skin cancer.
Workplaces can protect their workers from UV exposure by putting in place a comprehensive sun protection approach, which includes a policy, training, and provision of information, role modelling and Personal Protective Equipment.
Our sun safety policy for golf clubs provides a range of sun safety control measures that your club can implement to reduce workers exposure to UV. This policy is intended as a guide only. We recommend using aspects to tailor a policy to suit the needs and practicalities of your club.
Interested in learning more about how you can better protect your grounds staff from UV? Visit our webpage dedicated to outdoor worker sun safety.
