SUN SAFETY AT WORK
Know the Risks & Preventative Measures
As temperatures rise and the days grow longer, we all look forward to warm and sunny weather. While this is exciting for fun outdoor activities, working in construction means you’ll be spending longer hours in the sun.

Outdoor workers are up to 3.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with skin cancer compared with indoor workers due to their level of sun exposure. Sun Smart SK wants to remind employers about the importance of protecting their staff from sun exposure. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun causes sunburn, sun poisoning, and skin cancer which are all preventable hazards that can be avoided by putting preventative measures in place.

Find resources and get help with Sun Safety.
Industry Perspectives on Labour
Challenges, Discussion & Potential Solutions
SCSA President Collin Pullar sat down with industry leaders for a discussion on the current state of the construction workforce, how to address the labour shortage, the role of safety, and potential solutions to work on challenges into the future.

“Being able to retain the people we recruit into our industry means we need to be creating a safe environment. And now we have so many different types of people coming to our industry. We need to make sure that once we get them there, we're providing a good experience for them.” -Shannon Friesen
