Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancers in their lifetime, with outdoor workers at much higher risk.
People who work outdoors in Australia receive up to 10 times more UV exposure than indoor workers. While this is a scary stat, protecting your skin at any age reduces your skin cancer risk!
Whenever you're working outdoors, protect your skin in five ways: -
👕 Slip on protective clothing
🧴 Slop on SPF50+ sunscreen
👒 Slap on a hat
🌳 Seek shade where possible
🕶 Slide on sunglasses
