With skin cancer rates on the rise, it's more important than ever to protect yourself from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Whether you're working outdoors or spending time outside during breaks or after hours, taking a few simple precautions can make a big difference. • Be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. • Wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV- blocking sunglasses. • Try to stay in the shade during peak sunlight hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). • Stay hydrated and take breaks in cooler, shaded areas whenever possible. These small steps can go a long way in keeping you safe, healthy, and comfortable throughout the summer.
