Scout's Toolbox Talks

You don’t have to feel a burn for UV rays to do long-term damage.

Outdoor work exposes crews to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, increasing the risk of sunburn, heat stress, and long-term skin damage. These toolbox talks cover risks of prolonged sun exposure, protective clothing, sunscreen use, scheduling work around peak UV hours, and recognizing early signs of overexposure. Use them to remind workers that sun protection is PPE too — and just as critical.

Lead toolbox talks that promote sun safety, UV protection strategies, and long-term health awareness for outdoor construction crews.
