The client should be asked to disclose any other information that would aid the operator in evaluating the client's body art healing process. 5.4 Nothing in these Regulations shall be construed to require the operator to perform a body art procedure upon a client. Section VI. Body Art Operator Professional Standards. Body art operators shall comply with the following practices: 6.1 No person shall perform body art on a person who the operator knows is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or has reason to believe may be otherwise legally incapacitated or incompetent. 6.2 Body art operators must be at least 18 years of age. 6.3 Smoking, eating and drinking is prohibited in the body art procedure area. 6.4 An operator shall refuse service to any person who, in the opinion of the operator, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs or whom the operator has reasonably grounds to believe is legally incapacitated. 6.5 The operator shall maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness, conform to hygienic practices, and wear clean clothes when performing body art procedures. Before performing a body art procedure, the operator must thoroughly wash his or her hands in hot running water with liquid soap, rinse hands and dry them with disposable paper towels. This shall be done as often as necessary to remove contaminants. 6.6 The operator shall be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B virus. 6.7 The operator shall be certified in CPR. 6.8 In performing body art procedures, the operator shall wear disposable medical gloves. Gloves must be changed if they become contaminated by contact with any non-clean surfaces or objects or by contact with a third person. The gloves shall be discarded, at a minimum, after the completion of each procedure on an individual client, and hands shall be washed before the next set of gloves is donned. Under no circumstances shall a single pair of gloves be used on more than one person. The use of disposable medical gloves does not preclude or substitute for hand washing procedures as part of a good personnel hygiene program. 6.9 If, while performing a body art procedure, the operator's glove is pierced, tom, or otherwise contaminated, the procedure delineated in subparagraph 6.8 shall be repeated immediately. The contaminated gloves shall be immediately discarded, and the hands washed thoroughly (see 6.8 above) before a fresh pair of gloves is applied. Any item or instrument used for body art that is contaminated during the procedure shall be discarded and replaced immediately with a new disposable item or a new sterilized instrument or item before the procedure resumes. 6.10 Contaminated waste, as defined in this code, that may release liquid blood or body fluids when compressed or may release dried blood or body fluids when handled must be placed in an approved "red" bag marked with the International Biohazard Symbol. It must then be disposed of by a waste hauler approved by the department or, at a minimum, in compliance with 29 CFR Part 1910.1030, "Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens".
