Each tanning booth shall have a prominently
displayed warning that states:
|
"DANGER. Ultraviolet Radiation. Follow Instructions. As with
natural sunlight, overexposure can cause injury and sunburn, repeated
exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Medications
or cosmetics applied to the skin may increase oversensitivity to ultraviolet
light, as may a family history of skin problems, allergy to sunlight
or a person's tendency to get cold sores. Consult a physician before
using booth if taking any medication or if you believe yourself sensitive
to sunlight."
|
Each booth shall be provided with physical aids
such as handrails or floor markings to assure the user is kept at
the proper exposure distance.
Timers used to control exposure duration shall
have a minimum accuracy of plus/minus 10%.
Users shall, on each visit, be provided, free
of charge, with sanitary eyewear that will protect eyes from ultraviolet
radiation and allow adequate vision necessary to maintain balance
or to effect quick, safe exit from the booth.
Tanning booths shall, at all times, maintain
an ambient temperature of 100° F. (38° C.) or less.
Electrical hazards in the booths shall be minimized,
and all electrical work shall conform to applicable electrical codes
and standards.
Booth design and construction shall be adequate
to resist collapse due to the impact of a falling person.
Ultraviolet lamps shall be protected with physical
barriers such as heavy wire grids, ultraviolet transmitting plastics
or the like, sturdy enough to withstand the impact of a falling person.
Tanning booth access doors shall be designed
to facilitate rapid entrance in to or exit from said booths. Doors
shall open outwardly and be free of locks or latches.
Each salon shall have on file with the Health
Department a written certification from a Board-eligible or -certified
dermatologist stating that the exposure determination methods used
at that facility are safe, adequate and in keeping with acceptable
medical practice.
