Check the UV Index
The UV Index was developed by the National Weather Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. It provides a forecast of the expected risk of overexposure to UV rays and indicates the degree of caution you should take when outdoors.
It predicts exposure levels on a 1 to 11+ scale, where values of 2 or less indicate a low danger, while 11+ signifies an extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Get in the habit of checking the UV index regularly.
Experts now recommend that some sun protection be used when the UV index is 3 or higher. Consider posting the daily UV index near doors at the workplace so that employees know what level of protection they should use each day.
