Regulation 8 Protective eyewear
A person who carries on a sunbed business must—
make protective eyewear available to a person each time that person seeks to use a sunbed on sunbed premises; or
ensure that a person has with them protective eyewear each time they seek to use a sunbed on sunbed premises,
and must secure as far as reasonably practicable that a person who uses a sunbed on sunbed premises wears such protective eyewear.
In this regulation “protective eyewear” (“offer amddiffyn llygaid”) means eyewear that is safe and appropriate for use with the sunbed and which protects the eyes of a person using the sunbed from the effects of exposure to radiation emitted by the sunbed.
Protective eyewear made available in accordance with paragraph (1)(a) may be single-use eyewear, which must be disposed after use; or multi-use eyewear which must be appropriately sanitised before reuse.
A person who carries on a sunbed business who fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (1) or paragraph (3) commits an offence.
In proceedings for an offence under this regulation, it is a defence for a person who carries on a sunbed business to prove that the person (or an employee or agent of the person) took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid committing it.
A person guilty of an offence under this regulation is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
