Is there a policy on sun protection when working outdoors?
The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 2000, imposes a duty of care on employers to provide a healthy and safe workplace for all employees and as such where a worker requires protective equipment, such as hat, clothing or sun-screen to carry out his/her duties safely, the employer shall provide such equipment. See policy on sun protection at the link: Policy for the Protection of Staff and Students from Solar Ultraviolet Radiation.
