5-star housebuilder Barratt Homes has thrown its weight behind an awareness campaign to ensure its construction staff on the Isle of Wight stay safe in the sun.
Barratt managing director Tim Hill said that it was vital to ensure that its construction workers on sites on the Island are aware of the dangers of the sun and take all possible precautions.
Tim said:
“Cases of skin cancer are on the rise and while many people may usually associate this with sunbathing there are real dangers to anyone working outside and we want to make sure our staff and contractors are properly protected.
“We want to ensure that all construction workers are aware of the importance of regularly reapplying sunscreen, drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, ensuring they keep covered up and telling their doctor of any new or changing moles.’’
