Australian Leisure Management, Tanning bed operator ordered to pay $35,300 for radiation offences
A Sydney cosmetic business has been court-ordered to forfeit all nine of its tanning beds and pay $16,000 in fines and $19,300 in legal fees for illegally operating cosmetic tanning services using ultra-violet radiation.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) prosecuted F.A. Beauty Pty Ltd in the Local Court of NSW for two offences under the state’s radiation laws.
Trading as The Tanned Me, F.A. Beauty operated two premises in Bondi and Fairfield, where EPA investigators accompanied by NSW Police found nine UV tanning beds and evidence of cash-in-hand payments.
Advising that it is illegal to provide, or offer to provide, commercial UV cosmetic tanning services in the state, NSW EPA Executive Director of Regulatory Practice and Services, Emma Whale stated "this case is the culmination of a long and detailed investigation and the first time we have successfully prosecuted a business for offering UV tanning services.
