i'm melting! melllltinnnnnngggggg....
you can't make this stuff up:

An EU directive that could force bosses to make daily risk assessments about the strength of the sun is being debated this week in the European Parliament. If it is passed, all employers with staff working outdoors would need to look every day at the levels of radiation to which their employees could be exposed and devise an action plan to minimise health risks.

The thing that strikes me about this is, generally, who spends almost all of their workday in the sun? Aside from pool/amusement park workers, the only folks I can think of are construction workers, roofers, landscapers, etc.
And I'm thinking that if some pencil-necked EU weenie is going to chase down the 250lb ex-linebacker ex-con that mows the grass in front of my apartment complex with a bottle of SPF 60, he's not going to get a very welcome reception. They can write the laws, whatever folks are running the place are going to say "Okay, from now on, you have to re-apply the stuff in this pink bottle every half hour, and make sure you get plenty of shade out there on your steel girder 30 stories up." But somehow I think there's an execution flaw at the bottom, in that in my experience most construction workers don't much care for being treated like a delicate schoolgirl.
But, this is Europe we're talking about; maybe French construction workers are delicate wilting flowers.  ¶ 6:01 PM
