Section 61G3-19.016 - Precautions Against Communicable DiseasesEvery precaution should be taken to prevent the transmission of diseases and blood-borne pathogens in a barbershop. To that end:
(1) No barber engaged in the practice of barbering in a barbershop shall proceed with any service to a person having pediculosis (lice) until such person furnishes a statement signed by a physician licensed to practice in the State of Florida stating that the pediculosis is not in an infectious, contagious or communicable stage.(2) A barber shall not proceed with any service to a person in a barbershop if the barber or the person receiving the services has any exposed sores or wounds until such sores or wounds are covered with an appropriate bandage that is sufficient to prevent the seepage of blood or other body fluids. The barber shall be careful to avoid any physical contact with blood or any other body fluids and to protect the person to whom he or she is providing service from such contact.(3) In the event that a barber or the person to whom he or she is providing service is cut or otherwise receives a break in the skin during a service, the service shall immediately cease and the barber shall immediately disinfect any implement or equipment that has or might have come into contact with any blood or other body fluids. The service shall not be resumed until the precautions in subsection (2) are complied with.Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G3-19.016
