Policy

The objective of this policy is to ensure a work environment for the Builder's employees that is safe from over-exposure to UV radiation.

The requirements of this policy shall apply to all employees working on the Builder's sites, including any subcontractors and their employees.

The site supervisor shall ensure that UV radiation exposure to workers is assessed and minimised by adopting the following safe work procedures and practices as far as reasonably practicable:

Re-organising the work to avoid the UV peak of the day (11 am – 3 pm during daylight saving times, 10am – 2 pm at other times)
Providing natural or artificial shade
Wearing appropriate protective clothing i.e. long sleeve clothing, hats and sunglasses
Applying sunscreen to unprotected skin.

Identify tasks where over-exposure to UV radiation is likely. Where reasonably practicable and where business requirements allows, tasks could be minimised or re-scheduled to associated risks of UV exposure to workers being outside during the middle of the day for long periods.

For example, see if tasks can be carried out undercover. If tasks cannot be re-organised or re-scheduled try to provide workers with good protection.

Where reasonably practicable, use natural shade or install temporary shade structures that would provide good protection, such as shade screens or shade cloth.

Clothing exposed to the task shall where clothing should be loose fitting long sleeve shirts and trousers that cover as much skin as possible without the risk of heat stress. Where heat stress is likely, loose, light weight, long sleeve clothing should be worn. Choose close-weave type clothing with fabric with UPF 30+ or greater rated. Hats, hard hat flaps or legionnaire's caps and sunglasses shall also be worn.

In conjunction with the above-mentioned control methods, exposed areas of skin shall be protected with SPF 30+ sunscreen and lip balm. This use of sunscreen must not be a substitute for wearing appropriate clothing.

Where any doubt exists in regards to this policy, the matter shall be determined by consultation between employer's representatives and employee's or their representatives.
