Section SPS 220.07 - Warning sign(1) LOCATION AND CONTENT. Tanning facilities shall prominently display a warning sign in each area where a tanning device is used. A sign shall be located within one meter of each device. The sign shall be readily legible, clearly visible and not obstructed by any barrier, equipment or other item present so that the customer can easily view the warning sign before turning on the tanning device. The sign shall convey the following directions and information: (b) Avoid too frequent or too lengthy exposure. Like exposure to the sun, use of a tanning device can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure can cause chronic sun damage which is characterized by wrinkling, dryness, fragility and bruising of the skin, and skin cancer.(c) Wear protective eyewear. FAILURE TO USE PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONG-TERM INJURY TO THE EYES.(d) Ultraviolet radiation from tanning devices will aggravate the effects of the sun, so do not sunbathe during the 24 hours immediately preceding or immediately following the use of a tanning device.(e) Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult a physician before using tanning devices if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems, or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight. Women who are pregnant or using birth control pills and who use a tanning device may develop discolored skin.(f) If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this device.(2) LETTERING. The lettering on each warning sign shall be at least one centimeter high for the word "WARNING". All capital letters shall be at least 4 millimeters high and all lower case letters shall be at least 3 millimeters high.Wis. Admin. Code Department of Safety and Professional Services SPS 220.07
