We adhere to stringent safety regulations to ensure that your tanning experience is both enjoyable and safe. In this blog post, we'll share the comprehensive safety standards and legal requirements we follow at Ace Tanning, offering you peace of mind when you choose us for your tanning needs.

Our Legal and Safety Framework

Age Restrictions and Verification: At Ace Tanning, we are committed to legal compliance, especially concerning age restrictions. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to use sunbeds in the UK, and we take this law seriously. We verify the age of all customers who look under 25, ensuring that no underage individuals use our services. This protects our younger community members from the risks associated with premature tanning.Supervised Tanning Sessions: We ensure that all tanning sessions are supervised. This supervision is crucial not only to prevent underage use of our facilities but also to ensure that all safety protocols are meticulously followed. Our staff are always on hand to assist and answer any questions you may have.

Our Health and Safety Protocols

Eye Protection: Your eye health is paramount, which is why we provide suitable and sanitised eye protection for all our customers. We enforce the wearing of this protection during all tanning sessions to prevent any potential eye damage from UV exposure.Health Information and Awareness: At Ace Tanning, we believe in the importance of informed choices. We display clear and accurate health information prominently in our salon. These include details about the risks of sunbed use, such as potential skin cancer, sunburn, and eye damage, helping you to make well-informed decisions about your tanning frequency and duration.

Comprehensive Staff Training: All our team members undergo rigorous training in the safe operation of tanning equipment and customer care. This training includes detailed sessions on health and safety protocols and age verification procedures. We maintain meticulous records of all training sessions, underscoring our commitment to compliance and safety.

Our Equipment and Facility Standards

Regulation-Compliant Tanning Equipment: We use only the latest tanning equipment, compliant with the European Standard that limits UV output to 0.3 watts per square meter. This regulation helps minimise the risk of overexposure, ensuring a safer tanning experience.Ongoing Risk Assessments: We regularly perform risk assessments to identify and mitigate any potential hazards in our salon. This proactive approach not only keeps us compliant with health and safety regulations but also ensures a safe environment for both our customers and staff.

Documented Health and Safety Policies: For added assurance, we have a well-documented health and safety policy in place, as required for businesses with five or more employees. This policy is a testament to our systematic approach to safety and customer care.

Incident Management and Compliance Technology

Incident Reporting and Management: Should any incident occur, we are prepared with a detailed procedure for documentation and investigation. This rigorous approach helps us understand any mishaps and prevent future occurrences, ensuring continuous improvement in our safety practices.
