NEHA Annex to the Body Art Model Code, 3rd Edition

DEPARTMENT personnel performing evaluations, investigations, or INSPECTIONS of BODY ART ESTABLISHMENTS must have proof of completion of a current OSHA first aid training program and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard training program (or equivalent) given or approved by the DEPARTMENT. The importance of safety and regulations surrounding BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS requires that regulators complete OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard training to be able to protect themselves from blood and OPIM during INSPECTIONS, to be prepared in the event of an unanticipated incident occurring during INSPECTIONS, and to be able to ensure BODY ART PERSONNEL compliance in the interest of public health and safety. 21. Interpretation and Severability 21.1  Words used in this Code and Annex, regardless of the number, gender, or tense specifically used, shall be construed to include any other number, gender, or tense, as the context requires. Terms used in capitalized form in this Annex have the meanings specified in Section 1. 21.2  If any one or more clause, section, provision, or application of this Code shall for any person or circumstance be declared by a jurisdiction’s court as unenforceable, void, or illegal, it shall not affect 1) the enforceability or validity of the remainder of the clauses, sections, provisions, and applications; or 2) the enforceability or validity in other jurisdictions of that or any other clause, section, provision, or application of this Code.
