• Are the rooms where guests tan, use other spa services and all bathrooms secure and private? • Can staff or another guest see into a room through a crack, seam or open space in a wall or door jamb? • Are security cameras aimed away from tanning rooms and used only to monitor the lobby and common areas? • Are walls high enough to prevent someone inside another tanning room from climbing on a chair or tanning unit to peer into adjacent rooms? • Are there any mirrors or shiny objects that may reflect an image and allow someone to view a private area?
• Have all staff been instructed how to behave and interact with customers in a professional manner? • Are all customer files, including credit card information, phone numbers, addresses, etc. stored in a safe and secure manner? NOTE: All staff with access to such info must be trained how to maintain and secure it, and instructed to never share such data or use it for illegal purposes. • Are staff required to store cell phones during working hours and not use them when performing their job duties? NOTE: Since all cell phones have cameras and recording devices, it would be a prudent practice to keep cell phones securely stowed away during working hours and clear of tanning and treatment rooms, etc. • Prior to hiring them, have you properly screened all potential staff and conducted background checks?
