What is the recommended action if a tanning bed overheats during a session?

If a tanning bed overheats during a session, the recommended action is to turn it off immediately and notify a technician. This protocol is crucial for several reasons.

First, overheating can pose a significant safety risk to both the customer and the equipment. High temperatures could lead to burns or other injuries for the client, and continuing a session under such conditions would exacerbate these risks. By shutting down the tanning bed as soon as overheating is detected, you prevent any potential harm that might occur if the bed were to malfunction or if the temperature continues to rise uncontrollably.

Moreover, notifying a technician is important for addressing the underlying issue. Tanning beds are sophisticated machines, and professional attention may be needed to diagnose and repair any faults that could be causing the overheating. This proactive approach ensures that the equipment is safe for future use and reduces the likelihood of similar incidents occurring again.

In contrast, continuing the session would endanger the client, while simply opening doors or adjusting temperature settings may not sufficiently resolve the underlying issue, and could lead to further complications or equipment damage.
