Our public health inspectors are required to inspect facilities that provide ultraviolet tanning services upon opening and following a complaint from the public.
Inspection requirements come from the Skin Cancer Prevention Act (Tanning Beds), 2013. All operators are required to comply with this legislation including notifying the health unit of the plan to offer tanning services prior to opening or offering for sale. Operators can notify the Simcoe Muskoka District Health unit by completing the linked notification form.
More details about legislation can be found on the Ministry of Health website.
