Questions about the Sunscreen poster

What’s on the Sunscreen poster?

A definition and 6 facts worth remembering. SPF measures protection against UVB, the wavelength that causes burning. UVA protection is shown separately, as a star rating or the letters PA. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB; SPF 50 about 98%.; The rated amount is 2 mg per cm² — about 6–8 teaspoons for a whole body.; A teaspoon for the face and neck alone.; Reapply every two hours, and after swimming or towelling.; 'Water resistant' means tested for 40 or 80 minutes, not permanent.; Broad spectrum means UVA as well as UVB.; Face + neck — 1 tsp; Whole body — 6–8 tsp; Reapply — 2 hourly; Applying half the tested amount can reduce effective protection to well under half th…. General guidance. Sunscreen supplements shade and clothing; it does not license longer exposure.

Who is the Sunscreen poster for?

Sunscreen belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning prevention can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Sunscreen poster?

Almost everyone applies too little. Half the recommended amount gives far less than half the protection. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Sunscreen belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Sunscreen?

What size does the Sunscreen poster print at?

Sunscreen is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Sunscreen loses nothing.Printing guide
