Posted By Pete Moran Jason....one of the best safeguards against ultra-violet radiation is conventional PPE or covering up with normal clothing...i.e ...safety helmets/bump caps, long sleeve shirts/hi-viz vests, long trousers/overalls. I would avoid putting anything in a risk assessment as regards application of cream for the very reasons you have stated. In our construction related activities we have gone down the road of reimbursing for the cost of cream if someone requests it leaving it up to themselves to select a suitable product (most people have something they use on hols anyway!) The best approach is to encourage 'covering-up'....if someone if using lots of cream it suggests that perhaps PPE isn't being worn...hi-viz around the waist etc, etc.....
