exposure interval, regardless of the exposure length determined by the tanning
facility operator.
4. Operator training must be documented.
5. It is okay to have lamps in your tanning device(s) that are different than those
recommended by the manufacturer as long as they are equivalent to the
manufacturer’s recommended lamps and the facility has a user’s instruction sheet
documenting the equivalency.
6. If protective eyewear is not available, it is okay for customers to place either a towel
or cotton balls over their eyes during the tanning session.
7. The Operator on duty determines the tanning exposure interval for each customer by
using the exposure schedule on the front of the tanning device and an estimation of
the customer’s skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale.
8. The Department of State Health Services must be notified in writing within five
working days of your becoming aware of a tanning injury involving one of your
tanning devices.
9. The customer is paying for a full (maximum interval) tanning session and therefore
they have a right to go the full time on their first tanning session.
10. Labeling on the tanning device itself must warn customers to wear protective
eyewear.
11. There must be labeling, in a location where the customer can easily read it, on each
tanning device that indicates what lamp the manufacturer recommends for that
tanning device.
12. It is not important to determine when the customer tanned last as long as it was not
earlier in the day.
13. It is okay to place the remote timer in the same room as the tanning device as long as
it is far enough away that the customer would have to get out of the device in order
to reset it.
14. There doesn’t have to be a label containing a schedule for the exposure intervals of
each skin type on the tanning device if the operator discusses skin types with the
customer and uses a chart at the front desk to determine how long they should tan.
15. Tanning facilities must have a separate user’s manual for each tanning device they
operate.
