Owners reminded on sunbed safety
SUNBED salon owners in Rotherham are being asked to attend an NHS-organised event to promote safe tanning.
A range of information will be available and presentations
will take place on both the risks of using ultra violet tanning equipment and the importance of the Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010, which prevents children aged under 18 from using sunbeds.
Chris McCartney, health promotion specialist for cancer at NHS Rotherham, said: "There are a number of health risks associated with the use of sunbeds including skin cancer, wrinkles and tissue damage.
"The aim of this event is to ensure that equipment operators are aware of the risks and of the actions they can take to ensure that any risk to their customers is minimised as much as possible."
Speakers on the day are set to include environmental health officer Aaron Smith from Rotherham Council, Kathy Burkes from the Sunbed Association and skin- cancer nurse Rowena Mellows.
The event will take place at NHS Rotherham's headquarters in Oak House, Bramley, on Monday, November 29 at 1pm. For details call 01709 823161.
