Product Overview
The Sun Safety and UV Policy is a comprehensive, ready-to-use work health and safety document designed specifically for Australian businesses with outdoor workforces. It provides a clear, practical framework to manage the risks of solar UV exposure across construction sites, civil and earthworks projects, roofing jobs, landscaping and gardening operations, and farming or agricultural activities.
This professionally developed policy helps you meet your WHS obligations by setting out how your organisation will identify UV hazards, assess risks, implement controls and monitor effectiveness. It is written in plain, practical language so supervisors, site managers and workers can easily understand and apply the requirements in day-to-day operations.

- Tailored examples and controls for construction, civil, roofing, landscaping, gardening and agricultural work.
- Detailed roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors, workers and contractors.
- Clear guidance on applying the hierarchy of control to UV exposure.
- Specific requirements for sun protective clothing, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Practical instructions for work planning, scheduling and providing shade on site.
- Built-in checklists and simple tables to support implementation and record keeping.
