Skin & Nail ServicesQuestion 404 of 484
Under BPC §7320, sanitation duties of a licensee during a service primarily mean that the licensee must:
a.Sanitize only when an inspector is present
b.Defer all sanitation responsibilities to the salon owner
c.Sanitize tools once a week regardless of use
d.Personally follow the BBC's infection-control rules at all times during services — including hand washing, tool disinfection, single-use item disposal, and clean work surfaces
Explanation
California law assigns infection-control responsibility directly to the licensee performing the service. The licensee must follow BBC sanitation rules (16 CCR §979 et seq.) at every service: hand hygiene, properly disinfected reusable tools, immediate disposal of single-use items, and clean linens and surfaces. Owner instructions do not override this personal duty.
