The 5 steps
Five simple actions every worker remembers
- 1
Seek shade
Use natural or built shade for breaks and, where possible, for tasks during the hours of highest UV, usually 10:00 to 15:00. Move portable shade with the crew.
- 2
Slip on a shirt
Long sleeves, a collar and long trousers in closely woven or UPF-rated fabric. Choose light, breathable fabrics for heat.
- 3
Slap on a hat
A broad-brimmed hat, or a hard-hat brim with a neck flap where hard hats are required, shades the face, ears and neck.
- 4
Slop on SPF 50
Apply SPF 50 broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen generously about 15 minutes before going outside. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after sweating heavily or towelling.
- 5
Slide on sunglasses
Wrap-around sunglasses or safety eyewear with a rated UV filter (for example EN ISO 12312-1 or AS/NZS 1067) protect the eyes from direct and reflected UV.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is SUN PROTECT™?
A workplace sun-safety programme for South African employers: SPF 50 broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen at the point of work, Sun Station dispensers, a written policy, toolbox-talk training and simple monitoring, from one supplier.
Is sun protection required by South African law?
There is no UV-specific regulation, but section 8 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 requires employers to keep the workplace safe and without risk to health, as far as reasonably practicable. Solar UV is a recognised occupational hazard, so it belongs in the risk assessment and control plan. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much does it cost?
Tubes are from R109 per 150 ml excl. VAT (R125.35 incl.). Site Packs cost R2,950, R5,450 or R8,450 a month per 25 workers excl. VAT on a 12-month term with the dispenser on loan. The online UV risk assessment is free.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days, and express next-working-day delivery is available where stock allows. Phone 082 868 7762 for urgent site start-ups.
What does the sunscreen claim?
SUN PROTECT PRO is SPF 50 broad spectrum (UVA/UVB). Every pack shows directions, warnings, the ingredient list, a batch code and an expiry date that you can check on the product information page.
