5. The use of STERILE GLOVES during the PROCEDURE helps maintain ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE. The BODY ARTIST must wear STERILE GLOVES when coming into contact with sterile instruments during the PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of CONTAMINATION. 5. Public Notification Requirements 5.1 BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT LICENSES shall be posted in a highly visible location that all CLIENTS have access to, such as the front desk reception/lobby area. 5.2 Individual BODY ARTIST LICENSES shall be posted in a highly visible location, like in a BODY ARTIST station for individual CLIENTS to view. 5.3 AFTERCARE instructions should be provided to CLIENTs in writing, in a manner that does not CONTAMINATE the PROCEDURE AREA. Written AFTERCARE instructions must be posted in a highly visible location that all CLIENTS have access to. The written instructions must contain the name, address, and phone number of the BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT for reporting purposes. 5.4 The BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT shall post the full contact information of the DEPARTMENT that has jurisdiction over the facility and the process for filing a complaint in a highly visible location so that any PERSON who wishes to ask questions or file a complaint has a clear method by which to do so. 5.5 Providing BODY ART requirements of the DEPARTMENT upon request ensures transparent communication with the public and promotes public health and safety. 6. Facility Documentation Requirements 6.1 A BODY ART FACILITY must establish a written plan to address various aspects of infection control and safety measures that ensure the well-being of both personnel and CLIENTS as well as maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. A written plan to eliminate or minimize personnel exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) can reduce the risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The written plan should detail procedures of proper handling, storage, and disposal of REGULATED WASTE as outlined in Section 11 of this Code. The written plan should include protocols for DISINFECTION AND STERILIZATION of instruments using appropriate methods and validated processes as outlined in Section 8 of this Code. 6.2 Recordkeeping is an essential practice that allows OPERATORS and officials to act swiftly in the name of public health. Records must be made available to the DEPARTMENT upon request, and the DEPARTMENT and BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT must keep records confidential. Only AUTHORIZED AGENTS and PERSONNEL trained in handling confidential records should be granted access. After the minimum time for record retention has passed, all records should be destroyed in a manner that protects the confidentiality of all CLIENT and/or PERSONNEL- related documents.
