SUNBED HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

NEW MEMBER GUEST PASS

It is essential that you understand the aspects, possible dangers and safe practice of indoor tanning. Please Read the Following Carefully

An indoor tanning system should be treated with the same amount of caution as normal sunlight. It is important to build up your tan gradually, particularly if you have sensitive skin.

Never repeat tanning treatment if any signs of redness remain from previous sunbathing or tanning. Wear goggles or approved protective eyewear (available free from reception). Remove contact lenses, keep eyes closed and avoid looking directly at the light tubes. Do not tamper with or touch the light tubes whilst using the equipment.

Health and Safety information relating to sunbed use is prominently displayed adjacent to the sun units. Please read it prior to use.

IF YOU SUFFER FROM THE FOLLOWING PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE USING THE SUNBEDS

Ill effects from normal sunbathing, epilepsy, giddiness or fainting, headaches or migraine, a heart condition, hypertension, prickly heat, cold sores, allergies, skin ulcers or taking any form of prescribed drug, ointment/lotion, antibiotic or tranquilliser, diabetic, pregnant or hypersensitive to light?

CAUTION: YOUR SKIN MAY BE EXTRA SENSITIVE IF YOU HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING SKIN TREATMENTS IN THE LAST 24 HOURS

Hot waxing, bleaching or electrolysis.

I have read and understood the above. I am over 16 years of age and understand the necessary precautions for indoor tanning sessions.

Please note on regular intervals throughout the year the tanning equipment will be re-tubed. Please take this into account when using the tanning equipment, as the strength of the tubes will be greater. Notices will be displayed at this time. You may wish to reduce the length of time spent using the equipment.
