Outdoor Fitness Staff Advised to ëPlayí Safe in the Sun With Free Sun Cream

Leisurejobs.co.uk, are offering their ëoutdoorí temporary team a FREE bottle of SPF15 sun cream during the monthís of July & August. This offer came in response to the alarming results of an internal survey to find out how many of the temporary staff were playing safe in the sun by using sun protection factor whilst working outside.

Nearly half of those surveyed (46%) claimed to ëforgetí or not bother to use factor at all. These included tennis coaches, lifeguards, mountain bike instructors, walking guides and adventure holiday staff who are exposed to the sun all day long.

Of those who did say they used sun cream (54%), 21% said they forget to reapply their cream as much as they should, as their active jobs cause them to ësweat-offí the lotion faster than an average sunbather.

Marc Moreso, MD of Leisurejobs.co.uk comments, ìMany of the comments we heard from our staff was that they felt they didnít need to use sun protection as they already had a ëbaseí tan and wouldnít burn, which of course is not true and certainly doesnít protect skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. We hope our offer of SPF15 will help them to think about playing safer this summer.î
