Policies and procedures can help to reinforce good practice in relation to minimising risk from UV exposure.
When implementing any type of change within a sporting organisation it is important to consult with a wide variety of individuals across different levels of the organisation.

To ensure training, events and competitions are scheduled to minimise exposure it is important for sporting organisations to consider how their policy can support the implementation of one or more of the following if it is deemed that members are at risk of excessive UV exposure:
- changing schedule times to early morning/late afternoon;
- have shorter periods of play
- have longer or more frequent breaks
- provide additional shade
- postpone/reschedule
