Because of the known health risks associated with tanning, Salt Lake County Health Regulation #25: Tanning Establishments requires establishments that offer indoor tanning to have a tanning operator certified by the health department on site during all hours of operation, among other requirements.
Tanning operator training may take 30 minutes or more. Certifications are good for up to 3 years. The application fee is $40.
To become a certified tanning operator, complete the steps below:

Fully complete the Tanning Operator Certification Application below, including the test within the application, and submit the completed PDF to the Sanitation and Safety Bureau.
