15 Miss. Code. R. 19-60-11.9.1

Current through October 31, 2024
Rule 15-19-60-11.9.1 - Routine Inspections
1. A representative of the Department shall properly identify him or herself upon entering a tattoo facility to make an inspection. Inspections shall be conducted at least every 180 days or as often as necessary throughout the year to ensure compliance with these rules.
2. The routine inspection frequency shall be determined by the compliance status found on inspection as below. Nothing in this section precludes the Department from issuing an immediate Summary Suspension order or issuing an emergency order to immediately cease operation or cease using a particular item of equipment or a particular process, if necessary, in order to protect the public health.
3. A routine re-inspection shall be conducted within 180 days when:
A. No critical items were found in non-compliance, or any critical items found in non-compliance are corrected during the inspection; or
B. No second time repeat non-critical items were found in non-compliance.
4. A compliance check shall be conducted within two weeks when:
A. One or more critical items are found in non-compliance and are not corrected during the inspection, or one or more repeat corrected critical items from the previous inspection were found in non-compliance regardless of being corrected during the current inspection; or
B. One or more second-time repeat non-critical items from the previous routine inspection were noted in non-compliance regardless of being corrected during the current inspection.
5. Whenever a compliance check to determine correction of any item finds the item in continuing non-compliance, a Notice to summarily suspend the registration shall be issued to the person in charge at the tattoo facility. If the item in non-compliance and being the cause for issuance of the Notice is corrected, the tattoo facility shall retain the inspection status but shall be re-inspected within 30 days.
