When the exposure is a condition of the job
Gardening, grounds work, construction and coaching. What a duty of care covers, what a seasonal total looks like, and how to run a briefing people act on.
Gardening as unrecognised exposure
It is not classified as sport, it happens at the worst hours, it lasts all afternoon, and the posture presents the worst possible surfaces. Gardening is the quiet outlier.
Outdoor work and employer duty
Solar radiation at work is a health and safety matter, not a personal preference. Here is what the framework actually says and what a reasonable employer response looks like.
The occupational dose
An athlete's biggest week is a builder's ordinary one. The arithmetic of repeated daily exposure across a working life is a different order of problem.
Running a sun safety toolbox talk
Ten minutes, once at the start of the season and once when it gets hot. Here is a structure that avoids lecturing and produces something the crew can use.
Clubs, coaches and duty of care
A coach schedules a session. A club sets a fixture. A camp puts thirty children on a pitch for four hours. None of those are individual choices, and none should be treated as such.
The session brief
One email a month on exposure, heat and sun protection for people who train outdoors and people who work outdoors. No product recommendations, because we do not make any. Each issue carries a single clearly labelled sponsor line that has no influence on anything above it.
