| Almost all Sydney solariums are flouting laws introduced by the State Government after melanoma victim Clare Oliver's death, new figures show.
Government research obtained by The Sun-Herald found 98 per cent of solarium operators had failed to comply with tough new legislation set down in May. Of 89 businesses audited since September by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, only two complied with the new restrictions.
Amendments to the Radiation Control Act include prohibiting solarium use by children under 18 and people with very fair skin, displaying proper warnings about risks associated with ultraviolet radiation exposure, limiting the amount and frequency of exposure, providing protective eyewear and adequately supervising clients.
