What must tanning facilities provide to inform customers about the risks of tanning?

Tanning facilities are required to provide a warning sign or brochure about the risks of UV exposure to inform customers adequately. This requirement is part of health and safety regulations aimed at educating clients about the potential hazards associated with tanning, including skin damage, increased risk of skin cancer, and the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on overall health. By supplying this information, the facility ensures that customers can make informed decisions regarding their tanning practices, thereby promoting a safer environment and fostering a culture of awareness around UV exposure risks.

Options such as free tanning sessions, a safety manual, or discounts on future sessions do not fulfill the fundamental purpose of informing customers about the specific risks associated with tanning. While these may enhance customer service or encourage client retention, they do not provide the necessary information regarding the health risks involved. Thus, an informational brochure or warning sign is crucial for compliance with safety standards and for protecting the well-being of clients.
