Sunbeds

Sian James MP has welcomed the Health & Safety Executives (HSE)consultation on sunbeds

Sian James MP said:-

"I am very pleased to hear that people aged under 18 could be banned from using sunbeds under proposals from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and that the HSE wants to see tanning salons fully staffed at all times.

"This is exactly what I have been campaigning for and is a victory for common sense. I will certainly be making represenations to the consultation and I encourage others to do so to.

"I have been campaigning for changes to HSE leaflet INDG209 on for some time. It is completely out of date and does not recognise unstaffed salons and that children are using sunbeds."

The Department of Health asked the HSE to review its guidance on the use of sunbeds as part of its 2007 Cancer Reform Strategy, aimed at preventing skin cancer. The HSE's proposals will now go through a consultation process.
