Surveyors Skin Check: Protecting Your Health
Australian outdoor workers get far more sun than people who work indoors. Safe Work Australia puts it at five to ten times more. As a surveyor, that exposure is part of the job, so the question is how well you protect your skin and how soon a problem gets picked up. A full body skin check is the second half of that.

How the Job Affects Your Skin
Survey work mixes office days with long days in the field: subdivisions, roads, mine sites and open country with no shade, often standing behind an instrument for hours. It is easy to underestimate how much field time adds up over a career.
Inside a Surveyors Skin Check
A check is done in a private room by our trained melanographers. For surveyors, it covers:
- Your full skin surface, not just the areas you can see
- High-definition images of moles and lesions that need monitoring
- A stored record so changes can be compared over time
- Practical advice on sun protection for your type of work
Anything that needs more than monitoring is referred to a skin cancer specialist.
Common Exposure Points for Surveyors
For surveyors, these are the areas that tend to take the most sun:
- Face, ears and neck
- Forearms and the backs of the hands on the instrument
- Scalp
- Back of the neck
- Reflected UV on open sites, roads and water
A full body check covers all of these, plus everywhere else, from your scalp to the soles of your feet.
For Employers of Surveyors
Employers have a duty to manage the risk of UV exposure, the same as any other workplace hazard. Skin checks help catch problems early, but they work best alongside good sun protection on the job, not instead of it.
For survey firms, make sure field crews have shade umbrellas or pop-ups for long setups, long sleeves and broad-brim hats as standard, and sunscreen in every field kit.
For staff skin checks, call 1800 443 972 and we will put together an arrangement that suits your business.
