Established in 2014 by specialist skin cancer charity SKCIN, Sun Safe Workplaces is a national programme providing employers of outdoor workers and health and safety representatives with the training, tools and resources to confidently address occupational UV exposure, help prevent skin cancer and promote early detection.
Sun Safe Workplaces is an established national programme dedicated to preventing skin cancer among outdoor workers through education, awareness and practical workplace protection. By helping employers reduce occupational UV exposure, promote early detection and embed sun safe practices into everyday working life, the programme supports healthier, safer workplaces and helps reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Skin cancer statistics are compelling and urgent action is needed to combat this major public health concern. The facts speak for themselves and should serve as a wake up call to industry, employers and HSRs responsible for the health and safety of outdoor workers.
Employers of outdoor workers not only have moral obligation to ensure the health and safety of their employees, but also a legal one. Skin cancer is an occupational disease priority area and it is vital employers understand their responsibility and legal duty of care.
If you want to confidently address your duty of care and provide evidence of your commitment - we’ve got your back! Learn more about the accreditation process and the range of comprehensive resources we provide to assist you - every step of the way.
The Sun Safe Workplaces national accreditation programme has been developed by the UK’s leading skin cancer awareness charity, Skcin. Founded in 2006 following the death of a loved one to melanoma, we specialise in the prevention and early detection of skin cancer through educational intervention. Our mission is to save lives and suffering from melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, to prevent the disease, improve patient outcomes through early diagnosis and reduce the significant burden on the NHS.
