JULY 2024 - ENJOY SUMMER SAFELY
July is UV Safety Awareness Month - bet you haven't celebrated that one before! With the climbing temps and ample sunshine, now is the time to learn about UV radiation. Did you know unprotected skin can be damaged by the sun's UV rays in as little as 15 minutes? If you missed June's Safety Meeting, check out the Safety Bulletin with tips for Heat Stress Prevention and Injury Recognition. Here are two more important tips from our GBS Benefit Brokers: invest in sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays and be sure to toss any expired sunscreen - easy things we can all do!
Want more info on the danger of UV rays and skin cancer? Click here to read more, including what you can do now to help prevent skin cancer. Then take the American Cancer Society's Sun Safety IQ Quiz to see if you really are being as sun-safe every day as you think you are!
