Sunscreen
- About 15 minutes before you go out under the sun, apply a sunscreen with a very high sun protection factor (at least a 15+ broadspectrum sunscreen, but 30+ is preferable). The skin should be dry.
- Apply extra sunscreen or zinc cream to vulnerable places such as the nose, lips, ears, bald head, neck and back of the hands.
- Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours if you perspire or get wet.
- Select a gel-based or alcohol-based sunscreen if you are handling tools. These sunscreens will not make hands as greasy as a cream-based sunscreen.
- Generally, you need to apply about 35ml of sunscreen to ensure there is an adequate barrier between the skin and the sun.
- Provide an adequate supply of sunscreen and zinc cream at the workplace at all times.
- Carry a clear lip balm that contains sunscreen, and apply it regularly.
