Canada’s Current Position

Governments should regulate indoor tanning industry by requiring UV-emitting devices to be registered, staff to be licensed, equipment and premises inspected regularly

UV-emitting devices should be clearly labelled to explains health risks

Indoor tanning industries must stop using misleading phrases such as

safe, no harmful rays, no adverse effects or similar wordingSlide6

P

eople should be encouraged to use natural sun light for cosmetic reasons

Consumers must only be allowed to use a tanning bed for defined exposure hours per year
