Sun safety

Take steps to reduce your risk of skin cancer. Cover your skin as much as possible when working in the sun. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, pants, sunglasses with UV protection and a hat.

Wear sunscreen rated with an SPF of 30 or above to help protect your skin year-round.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lifetime. Following these tips will help prevent skin damage when working outdoors.

And that’s smart safety!

Computer Eyestrain

Although looking at a computer monitor won’t damage your eyes, spending much of your workday staring at the screen can cause eyestrain. Eyes can become dry and irritated. You could begin to have trouble focusing. Do you find yourself leaning in to read what’s on the screen? Increase the font size on your computer.  And the next time you have your eyes checked, tell your doctor if you spend much of your workday at the computer screen.

Wearing the right glasses and making adjustments to your monitor and workstation will reduce eye strain.

And that’s smart safety!
