OZschwitz rights violation: Slaves under 18 or of fair skin, prohibited from solariums

UNDER-18s and very fair-skinned people in NSW will be banned from using solariums by January.

The NSW Government yesterday committed to introducing strict regulations, which would be enforceable by January 1 regardless of whether national guidelines were still being thrashed out.

The Australian Medical Association and NSW Greens criticised the State Government this week for not acting sooner after both Victoria and South Australia introduced regulations earlier this year and Western Australia announced last week it would soon follow.

But yesterday the Minister Assisting the Minister for Health (Cancer), Verity Firth, said NSW would have "a comprehensive set of regulations in place for the solarium industry by the end of this year".

A spokesman for Ms Firth said if the Radiation Health Committee did not speed up the process for national standards in the next few months, NSW would "jump ship".

The spokesman said under-18s and those with sensitive "Type 1" skin would be banned from solariums. Type 1 includes those who burn and never tan.
