Sun safety isn't just the right thing to do- it's a WHS obligation

A skin cancer claim and a sick worker cost a lot more than prevention ever could. SWAP is low cost, fast to roll out, and built to create real behavioural change, while covering your WHS obligations.

SWAP singlets for long sleeves. 👕

We know, singlets feel like the right call when it's hot. But they're leaving your team's shoulders, arms and back fully exposed to UV all shift long.

A long-sleeve shirt (ideally UPF 50+) is one of the simplest, most effective forms of sun protection on a worksite. Lightweight, breathable options mean you don't have to trade comfort for coverage.

SWAP helps you embed swaps like this into everyday workplace culture, with training and resources to suit every business size.

"My staff don't have time for the training." But do they have the time to be off work, or you the resources to cover them?

SWAP is an online training program, which means you can knock it over in one 30-minute hit, or break it into bite-size pieces. Rained out with no outdoor work on? That's the perfect window to get it done.

There's always time to protect your team and potentionally save your employees lives. Sign up to SWAP today.

Happy first day of spring!

A change of season is your reminder to check your skin for change.

Every 3 months, you should be checking your own skin for new or changing spots, and encouraging your outdoor workers to do the same. If you spot anything new or changing, get it checked by a professional.

And once a year? Book in an annual skin check with a professional. Early detection saves lives.

SWAP caps for wide-brim hats. 🧢➡️👒

We get it, caps are the go-to on site. But when it comes to sun protection, they're leaving your team exposed.

Caps protect the top of the head. That's it. Ears, neck, cheeks, sides of the face, all still catching UV all shift long.

A wide-brim hat covers the lot, face, neck, ears, and it's part of the sun safety standard SWAP embeds into your workplace.

Our program gives you the training, tools and resources to make swaps like this stick, from small business through to large corporate.
