New legislation governing personal services establishments (PSE) had been introduced by Newfoundland and Labrador government. The previous system for PSE to follow voluntary guidelines was found ineffective and therefore new regulations are in place.
According to CBC news, the new regulations include the following:
- Ban those under 19 from using indoor tanning facilities;
- Prohibit establishments from offering invasive body modification procedures — such as scarring, sub-dermal implants, branding, skin peeling and tongue splitting — to persons under the age of 19;
- Bar them from offering body piercing and tattooing services to those under the age of 16 without the written consent of a parent or guardian;
- Require information to be provided to clients on the health risks of the services to be provided, and post health warning signs in the premises;
- Require personal services establishments and tanning facilities to comply with new, yet-to-be-developed provincial health standards;
- Make such businesses register with the government.
