Tanning Equipment Operators operate tanning devices, control the length of the exposure to UV light, and instruct the consumer in the proper use of the device. A tanning device is any equipment, including a sunlamp, tanning booth, and tanning bed, that emits electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the air between 200 and 400 nanometers and is used for the tanning of human skin. The term also includes any accompanying equipment, including protective eyewear, timers, and handrails.
