The client should be asked to disclose any other information <br />that would aid the operator in evaluating the client's body art healing <br />process. <br />Nothing in these regulations shall be construed to require the operator to <br />perform a body art procedure upon a client. <br /> <br />5.4 <br /> <br />Section VI. Body Art Operator Professional Standards. Body art operators shall <br />comply with the following practices: <br /> <br />6.5 <br /> <br />6.6 <br />6.7 <br />6.8 <br /> <br />6.9 <br /> <br />6.1 <br /> <br />No person shall perform body art on a person who the operator knows is <br />under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or has reason to believe may be <br />otherwise legally incapacitated or incompetent. <br />Body art operators must be at least 18 years of age. <br />Smoking, eating and drinking is prohibited in the body art procedure area. <br />An operator shall refuse service to any person who, in the opinion of the <br />operator, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs or whom the operator <br />has reasonable grounds to believe is legally incapacitated. <br />The operator shall maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness, conform <br />to hygienic practices, and wear clean clothes when performing body art <br />procedures. Before performing a body art procedure, the operator must <br />thoroughly wash his or her hands in hot running water with liquid soap, <br />rinse hands and dry them with disposable paper towels. This shall be done <br />as often as necessary to remove contaminants. <br />The operator shall be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B virus. <br />The operator shall be certified in CPR. <br />In performing body art procedures, the operator shall wear disposable <br />medical gloves. Gloves must be changed if they become contaminated by <br />contact with any non-clean surfaces or objects or by contact with a third <br />person. The gloves shall be discarded, at a minimum, after the completion <br />of each procedure on an individual client, and hands shall be washed <br />before the next set of gloves is donned. Under no circumstances shall a <br />single pair of gloves be used on more than one person. The use of <br />disposable medical gloves does not preclude or substitute for hand <br />washing procedures as part of a good personal hygiene program. <br />If, while performing a body art procedure, the operator's glove is pierced, <br />torn, or otherwise contaminated, the procedure delineated in subparagraph <br />shall be repeated immediately. The contaminated gloves shall be <br />immediately discarded, and the hands washed thoroughly (see 6.8 above) <br />before a fresh pair of gloves is applied.
