12.18  Noncontaminated supplies and INSTRUMENTS should be stored in closed or covered cabinets or containers. Noncontaminated supplies should not be stored under sinks or in other locations where they might become wet (Kohn et al., 2003). Clean or STERILE INSTRUMENTS cannot be stored in an area where CONTAMINATED INSTRUMENTS are held or cleaned (i.e., noncontaminated INSTRUMENTS must be stored in an area where they can remain noncontaminated). 12.19  Smoking and vaping, as discussed in this Code, include the use of both nicotine and non- nicotine products. NIOSH (2015) recommends that employers establish and maintain smoke-free workplaces that prevent those in workplaces from involuntary, secondhand exposures to tobacco smoke and airborne emissions from e-cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems. As of December 31, 2020, 34 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and American Samoa have 100% smoke-free indoor air laws in private worksites (CDC, 2021a). As of December 31, 2020, 15 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico include e-cigarettes in their smoke-free indoor air laws (CDC, 2021b). 13. License Requirements 13.1  In the interest of public health, both the BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT, whether fixed, mobile, or temporary, and the BODY ARTISTS must be licensed with the DEPARTMENT. The licensing procedure can differ between departments and/or licensing agencies. Licensing procedures shall be conducted in accordance with the jurisdiction’s administrative procedure act, which establishes procedures for agencies to carry out their functions of rulemaking, adjudication, and licensing (Justia, 2018). ESTABLISHMENTS and BODY ARTISTS that operate outside of what their LICENSE permits are subject to revocation and/or legal remedial actions and sanctions, depending on the jurisdiction. Upon enactment of this Code, ESTABLISHMENTS and BODY ARTISTS will have 6 months to achieve compliance with this Code to ensure public health is protected without putting an undue burden on any ESTABLISHMENT or BODY ARTIST. 13.2  Fixed BODY ART ESTABLISHMENT License 1-4. To protect public health and PERSONNEL safety, BODY ART ESTABLISHMENTS must go through the licensing process annually with their DEPARTMENT. LICENSES are nontransferable and any change in OPERATORS or FACILITY location will require a new application.
