How will the Regulation affect those businesses that have coin-operated or token operated tanning units?
These businesses will need to ensure that they have sufficient trained staff to supervise each tanning session. This involves undertaking a skin assessment of the client, ensuring that the client reads, understands and signs a consent form and is given and uses appropriate protective eye-wear. The trained operator will be responsible for setting the tanning unit at the appropriate dosage for skin type (in accordance with the Australian Standard), for terminating the session and recording the dosage given and the date of the tanning session.
