MCHD staff conduct tanning facility inspections on new facilities, routine inspections, and compliance inspections. Routine inspections are conducted at least once annually to determine compliance with various provisions including: equipment labeling and general operation; verification of appropriate ultraviolet lamps; accurate equipment timers; clients’ use of protective eye-wear; trained operators on duty; and record-keeping of clients. Inspectors may place embargoes on tanning units observed that present a health hazard, and they may remove the units from service until they are found to be in compliance upon re-inspection. For more information, please call us at (217) 423-6988 ext: 1134.
