Ind. Admin. Code tit. 820, r. 5-1-24 – Consumer protection

Sec. 24. There shall be physical barriers to protect customers from injury induced by touching or breaking the lamps in a sunlamp product. Each customer shall be shown how to use suitable physical aids. Each customer shall be shown how to maintain the proper exposure distance recommended by the manufacturer. There shall also be the following requirements:

(1) The construction of a tanning booth shall be such that it will withstand the stress of use and the impact of a falling person.
(2) There shall be physical barriers or other means such as handrails or floor markings to indicate the proper exposure distance between ultraviolet lamps and the customer's skin in upright tanning booths.
(3) Each ultraviolet lamp contained within the sunlamp product shall be shielded to prevent contact with the customer. A screen or transparent cover shall be used for this purpose.
(4) Body contact surfaces of each sunlamp product shall be sanitized by the operator between each customer use by swabbing the body contact surfaces with a chemical sanitizing solution of at least twice the strength required for that particular sanitizing solution as stated in section 25(d)(1), 25(d)(2), 25(d)(3), or 25(d)(4) of this rule. The swabbing shall be accomplished with single use towels. Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation produced by the tanning equipment itself is not a sanitizing agent for the purposes of this rule.
(5) The operator of a tanning facility shall keep a list of emergency telephone numbers in view at each tanning facility. This list shall include the telephone numbers of the following:
1. (A) Closest hospital.
2. (B) Fire department.
3. (C) Emergency medical services or, if the service is available, 911.
