Frequently Asked Questions

Why is UV protection important for outdoor workers?

L

K

Outdoor workers are regularly exposed to harmful UV rays, which can lead to serious health issues such as skin cancer, premature aging, sunburns, and immune suppression. Using UV protection helps prevent these risks by shielding the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, ensuring the long-term health and safety of outdoor workers.

How can schools ensure that children are protected from UV rays during the school day?

L

K

Schools can protect children by implementing sun safety policies that include providing high-quality sunscreens, such as BuyUV’s Factor 50 Protection Cream, and ensuring children apply it regularly. Additionally, schools can install sun cream dispensers in accessible areas, encourage the use of hats and protective clothing, and educate students about sun safety through programs and activities.

What are the best practices for applying sunscreen for outdoor workers and school children?

L

K

For effective UV protection, sunscreen should be applied generously to all exposed skin areas at least 15 minutes before going outdoors. Reapplication is crucial and should be done every 2 hours, or more frequently if sweating, swimming, or after toweling off. Outdoor workers and school children should focus on commonly exposed areas such as the face, neck, ears, and hands.

How can UV exposure be minimized besides using sunscreen?

L

K

In addition to using sunscreen, UV exposure can be minimized by wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. Seeking shade during peak UV radiation times, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and using UV-blocking window films in indoor environments are also effective measures. Schools and workplaces should provide shaded areas for breaks and encourage regular use of protective gear.
