Site Safety Equipment/Sunscreen Protection

Slip, Slop, Slap has never been more important for Australian workers that spend time working outside in the harsh Australian sun.

The Cancer council of Australia in July 2012 advised

According to Sunsmart, at least two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70.

In workers protection against the Australian Sun, ProChoice ProBloc SPF 50+ leads the way.

What does SPF 50+ (Sun Protection Factor) mean?

The best way for workers to protect themselves from the sun is by covering skin with clothing or shade, however when this cannot be achieved, all remaining exposed skin should be protected by Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 50+

The SPF rating indicates the level of protection provided by a sunscreen against Ultra Violet Rays (UVR). Note:- the purpose of sunscreen is to reduce a workers exposure to UVR, not to extend the duration they can expend outside in the sun.

Why use Prochice ProBloc SPF 50+ Sunscreen?

ProBloc sunscreen is water resistant for up to 4 hours, is dry touch, PABA free and is very easy to apply to the skin. It also contains Vitamin E which nourishes the skin.
