NEWSLETTER ISSUE 07 / JULY 2026 WWW.HEALTHYWAY-PSI.COM UV SAFETY MONTH UV Awareness & Sun Safety Spending time outdoors can be great for your health and well- being, but protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is important. One of the most effective ways to do this is to use the UV index, a daily forecast that measures the intensity of the sun’s UV radiation. Whether your job requires you to spend time outside, or you’re heading out for a walk, playing sports or simply running errands, knowing the UV index can help you time your exposure and take steps to protect yourself from sun damage. The UV index is reported on a scale from 0 to 11+, with each range corresponding to the average person’s risk level. The higher the UV index value, the greater the potential for harm from unprotected sun exposure. Children, older adults, and people with fair skin or certain medical conditions may be especially vulnerable to high UV levels. The UV index is a helpful tool that can guide your daily decisions and keep you protected from harmful UV radiation. Here’s how to use it proactively: Check the index in the morning . Many weather apps and websites display the UV index alongside the daily forecast. Take extra precautions when the index spikes. On days with a very high or extreme rating, minimize direct exposure and prepare accordingly with strong sun protection. Adjust your schedule when possible. If the UV Index is high (6 or above), plan outdoor activities for early morning and late afternoon or take extra precautions to protect yourself from exposure. Watch for environmental amplifiers. Sand, water and even pavement can reflect UV rays, increasing your exposure. Be Well Spotlight Message from the Health Coach CoreHealth is part of PSI’s 2026 Wellness Incentive .
