This message is intended to raise awareness of risks caused by the ongoing hot weather.
Did you know skin cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and the number of people who are affected are increasing?
The greater your exposure, the higher your risk. Keep your skin covered or use high high protection sun cream to reduce exposure to the sun .

Self-care tips in warm weather:
- Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration. When working outside in hot weather try and drink around one pint of water every hour. Avoid tea and coffee as these can dehydrate you.
- If working outside spend your breaks out of direct sunlight. Do not forget to use higher factor sunscreen and re-apply regularly.
- Where ever possible switch off equipment that generates heat such as lights and computers when not in use.
- When you go outside, try and stay in the shade as much as possible. Wear a hat and light, loose-fitting clothing, preferably cotton.
- When working outdoors keep covered up by wearing the lightweight PPE.
- Try to eat more cold food, particularly salads and fruit, which contain water.

Understanding how you react to the sun is vital to knowing what to do to protect yourself.
We are expecting a period of hot and dry weather, and this therefore means that the risk of fires from our equipment, discarded litter and lit cigarettes on our land is a very real threat - please consider these factors while undertaking work or on breaks. Make sure you have suitable fire fighting equipment to hand, appropriate to your level of expertise and to always leave a tidy and safe site.
