Wearing sun safe clothing and swimwear can help to protect skin against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Clothing and swimwear can be tested to identify the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). The UPF rating is a measure of the protection provided by clothing fabrics. Sun safe clothing should be used with other sun protective measures, such as shade, clothing, sunscreen, hats and sunglasses.

Ultraviolet radiation
|
| Publisher: |
Queensland Health
|
| Description: |
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the part of the sunlight that causes sunburn and skin damage, leading to premature ageing and skin cancer. UVR is measured by the ‘UV Index', which uses a numerical scale of 0 to 10+ to rate the strength of the sun's UV rays. The higher the UV Index level, the greater the strength of the sun's UV rays and the faster the skin will burn.

Sun safety and physical activity

| Description: |
People most at risk include people with fair skin, people with a lot of outdoors exposure (outdoor workers), urban indoor workers who spend weekends or holidays in the sun (intermittent high exposure), and people who were sun burnt or had high levels of exposure to the sun as children (exposure to sun in childhood and adolescence does the most damage).,The main cause of skin cancer is a cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, and in Queensland we have the highest levels of UVR all year round even in winter.,Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with at least one in every two Queenslanders being diagnosed with some form of skin cancer during their lifetime.
