Sun safety at work

An estimated 86% of malignant melanoma cases in the UK are linked to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Arco believes that sun protection is a vital element of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

The company’s protection products include the Deb SunPROTECT range of sun creams, which are perfume-free, non-greasy and water-resistant. These include a 150ml tube for individuals and a one-litre cartridge, plus a dispenser for larger teams.

The Deb SunPROTECT Skin Safety Centre helps to raise awareness of UV danger at work with a pre-assembled one-litre dispenser of sun cream. It also includes a set of numbered cards for displaying the current UV level, and a QR code which links to the Met Office’s weather and UV level web page so that UV index cards can be regularly updated.
