Share this infographic outlining ways employers can support outdoor workers, including the development of a sun safety policy, and tips to reduce the risk when working outside.
Infographics are designed to be read online, so we encourage you to share them to your online social networks and e-mail. When printing our infographics, please note that they are optimized for 11 by 17 inch paper. We also develop larger posters ideal for printing and display, based on the guidance offered in our infographics.
