UVA versus UVB protection in sunscreen! SPF only addresses UVB!

NS has the highest rate of melanoma cancer in Canada!

Tanning releases endorphins …now I know why some workers are addicted to tanning beds.

All tans without burning still cause skin damage.

Laser treatments on questionable skin discolorations do not lower probably of developing skin cancer! Wow!

Sun safety and need to limit sun exposure – and... the endorphins connect to to why I love the sun!

PIHA: One Year Later in your Workplace Julie Walsh NS Department of Health and Wellness

My company, not me, is the custodian of the health records.

The PIPEDA applies to me, not PHIA.

Your business owns the health records, unless you own the company providing the healthcare.

OHNS must protect the privacy of the health records, leasing to eh employer on a ‘need to know’ basis

PIPEDA applies to all jurisdictions.

OHNS should have employees sign a consent form.
