Remember that people who spend a lot of time outdoors in work or leisure activities can suffer from more than just exhaustion or heat stress. They are at risk for skin cancer and other diseases that result from years of exposure to the sun. Be aware of risks and make it a habit to protect yourself from sun exposure. A baseball cap will protect you from harmful rays from the sun. Wearing a hat will keep all the sun s ultraviolet rays out of your eyes.
All sunglasses protect eyes from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Examine the hat you wear for field work. Determine if it protects your ears, face, temples, and neck from the sun. Visit your doctor regularly to determine whether you have the warning signs of skin cancer. Encourage employees and family members to use proper eye and skin protection from the sun. Check the UV rating of your sunglasses.
